Re: [LegacyUG] gedcoms coming in as word documents ?
Hi Valerie No, you cannot, or should not, send attachments. If you have files, of files or screen dumps, you can send them directly to me at chris.hill.11he...@gmail.com . This will take it out of the forum group and limit it to us. I am a retired IT Manager with 35 years of user support and can usually resolve most issues, if I have enough information. I am UK based and it is now 11pm here, but I can look at it tomorrow. Regards Chris >From my Motorola G6+ On Wed, 2 Jan 2019, 22:56 Valerie Garton Thanks for your reply Chris.

[LegacyUG] gedcoms coming in as word documents
In family tree in findmypast called " Mt Jerome Cemetery Family Tree to find ? " there are 40 people. In the list of trees I selected this tree and then selected download in RHS column. Here now it changed to " Download tree File created 5:10am 2 Jan 2019. Where am I now SUPPOSED to find this file please ? I say this as I am not too sure as to what files are meant to be where ?

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 ? Cheers from Valerie Garton [nee Vaughan] in sunny Sydney.

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 .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.
