Leslie, You can Open a Gedom in note pad and have a look at the contents before you send it. Similarly the recipients can also open it in Notepad and check before importing into their files - you could even swop the txt files so that you can both compare the versions.
An alternative: Before exporting it, import into a new file on Legacy and have a look there. I take it, btw, that you are exporting the Ged 5.5 version? I believe that FTM may have problems importing some Gedcoms but do not know the details, so all that you can do is to ensure it's OK when it leaves you.
