Thanks for your reply Chris. I always have trouble trying to say what my 
problems are as I find t so hard to remember what I have just done. I will now 
take time and write down everything I do and what happens. I don't think I can 
send an attachment to this site can I ?

Hi Valerie

 

Exactly what do you mean by a GEDCOM file coming as a word document????

 

1. Are these files which you have been sent

2. Are they files that you have downloaded and where from

3. Are they files that you have created

 

Why do you think that they are word documents? Is the file name xxxx.ged?

 

How are you trying to open them? Per se, there is no default program defined in 
Windows to open these files.

 

Normally, one would use a text editor - Notepad or Notepad++ - to view these 
files.

 

Otherwise one would use a genealogy program like Legacy to IMPORT the file and 
convert it to its own file format.


Can you please let us know exactly what is happening, why and where the files 
are and what are you trying to do with them.

 

Regards

Chris

Is this my problem or from the source as I have the problem with MyHeritage and 
findmypast. At ancestry there is a second stage to do to stop this from 
happening. I do not know whether this is my problem or a universal one. Anyhow 
I need assistance again. Thank you to all those who have helped me so far.
