Ask your friend to re-send it, but this time to make a GEDCOM copy for you. FTW will export to GEDCOM, the feature is probably under her File drop down menu (most are). After she sends it to you, I would:
Open legacy and import the file into Legacy BY ITSELF. Don't import to an existing file yet. You might decide you don't want to import after looking at it. Look it over and correct any obvious mistakes you see. After you are satisfied everything is the way you like it, then import into your family file.
