Did some experimenting to achieve the required result & I post it as an answer to others.
Step 1. Select Individual from which to produce Book Report & GED that includes Parents of Spouses. 2. Go to Edit > Tag Records > Select tag No.X > Descendants (Tag with No. X) > Close. 3. Go to File > Export > For Legacy > Enter a File Name > Save > Select/Tick Box = "All records with Individual Tag of " > *Leave all 3 Option Boxes Ticked.* > Start the Export > Finish. Open New File. Produce the Report pdf & Export > GED from this File. Go back to the start File & remove Tags. Edit > Tag Records> Remove all Tagged Records (or select Tags to remove). The Legacy File thus created will give the Parents of Spouses but not climb up an Ancestor line of a Spouse if there are Ancestor Loops in your Tree. Pays to experiment. Thanks Sherry for the push into Tagging to achieve this result.

There are many long loops in my tree & it is difficult to export to GED without getting the lot. There are too many points to"Unlink" . Is there a technique to get just 1 level of Ancestors to go with a Descendant '"& All Spouses"' Focus Selection? The reason is to be able to also get the Descendant Book Report of that same selection to match the Exported GED. I like the "Daughter of" & "Son of" in the Reports for the Family of individuals that are to get the GED. It would be nice to be able to ALSO specify how many Ancestor generations were to go with the GED or at least " & Parents of Spouses" John P in Australia.
