The drag and drop David Turley suggests only works to copy the person 
from one file to another. You will still have to delete that person from 
the original file if you no longer want them there.

Check the help file "Copying between Family Files.
It is simply a drag and drop function.

Is there an easy way of doing this eg by split screen ? Or do I have
to select them for a gedcom, export that gedcom and then import that
gedcom into the other file and then go back and delete those
individuals from the original file?

Happy New Year!  Welcome to 2019!

1) Please help us keep the Legacy User Group Email List friendly, helpful,
and fun.

2) We do not allow attachments or embedded images because we have users that
are on dial up or have metered connections. Also, please send your emails
using plain text. Some users are using email clients that can't "see" HTML
or RichText so they end up with garbled emails.

3) Please create a new email to LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com to start a
new thread (topic). DO NOT just hit Reply and change the Subject line.  When
replying to an ongoing conversation, please trim your messages so that only
the most current earlier responses are included.

4) Please keep the conversation confined to the Legacy program and to the
add-ons that work with Legacy. Since we have a direct sync to FamilySearch,
FamilySearch questions are usually fair game. You can post questions about
MyHeritage if your question relates to Legacy in some way. If you are having
a problem with MyHeritage please email their tech support at
supp...@myheritage.com. Once we have the direct sync to MyHeritage we will
expand what we allow.

5) Several Legacy staff members and beta testers monitor this list and they
may advise you to email supp...@legacyfamilytree.com for more complex
technical support issues or ask you to send enhancement requests here
https://legacyfamilytree.com/Suggest.asp The LUG email list is more for "How
do I... in Legacy?" and for tips that will help other users.

6) Keep up to date with what's going on at Legacy by subscribing to our
newsletter at https://legacyfamilytree.com/subscribe.asp. You can also click
over to the Legacy Home tab to see hot links to all of the latest news
articles and announcements in Legacy itself.

7) Don't forget that you can also join the Legacy User Group Facebook page
for even more interaction with the staff, beta testers, translators, and
other users https://www.facebook.com/groups/LegacyUserGroup/

8) If you ever want to unsubscribe from the LUG email list, there is a link
at the bottom of every email that you can use

9) If you have any problems concerning the Legacy User Group List you can
email mailto:mich...@legacyfamilytree.com

Hi Valerie

GEDCOM file is a raw, text formatted database of a family tree 
structure - individual, marriages, events, sources etc. - but it does 
not, and cannot, include media information. The current version, 
currently 5.5.1, was developed FamilySearch as part of process of 
building their family tree system in the 1990s and has become the 
standard for data interchange between multiple, and different, genealogy 
systems, although most of them, including Legacy, can now import and 
export using other systems formats, and potentially handle media 
information. There have been a number of plans to build a new 
interchange format, but that seems to be not going anywhere.


Since the GEDCOM file, with a .ged extension, is text it is capable 
of being opened by any text processor - Notepad, Notepad++, Word etc., - 
but it generally needs to have a .ged extension for it to be imported 
into a system. Legacy will export a GEDCOM with a .ged extension, even 
if you put an different extension in the dialog - test.txt.ged gets 
created.


If your system is always opening, from Windows Explorer, a .ged file 
with Word it is because the default setting in Windows for the extension 
has been set that way, and you will need to change it. This is based on 
a Win7 system:


1. Right-click on the file in explorer
2. Click on Open With... - the system will give you a list of possible 
programs as Recommended Programs.
3. Below those is a line labelled Other Programs which has a down arrow 
at the right end.
4. Click on the down arrow and the system will show you a list of other 
programs
5. Select the one that you want to use and ensure that the Always use... 
tick is enabled

6. Click on OK to make that the default program.
7. You can also use the Browse option to physically locate a program 
which is not in the list.


It is not obvious that the down arrow can be clicked on - it took me 
a couple of years to find it.


If the file is a valid GEDCOM file, ie raw text, with the wrong 
extension you can just rename it with a .ged extension. BUT, if Word has 
opened and saved it as a .doc or .docx extension it will then be a 
formatted Word document, and possibly restructured. Copying the text 
from Word to Notepad should work, but it may have problems if Word has 
made any Line Feed changes.


Regards

Chris
