usascottwright 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2009 MS Office 2007 does not have the .ged file extension so it can save as a correct file. I am saving the file as a plain text file: file.ged but in MS2007 it is saving the file as file.ged.txt MS office 1997 saved it correctly. I had 1997 on my lap top and converted the file that way, but now my laptop is down. Any ideas? any utilities that I could use to save a file into a correct format?
