34523 2002-02-05 21:56:00 Hi, I have Ancestry.com family tree progam, if any one has used it, can you tell me how to convert the information to a file so it can be sent email as an attachment? The databases are
*.aft,*.aq,*.paf;indiv2.dat;*.ged
I would like to be able to open the database in Wordpad.
Win 98. Thank you Jan

34524 2002-02-06 00:02:00 Your best bet if you want to open it in Wordpad is to create a new printer and choose (Manufacturer = Generic : Printers = Generic / Text only) and print to that device and then anyone should be able to read it. Guest (0)
34525 2002-02-06 00:30:00 Hi Jan, this from the FAQ section of the website:

Q. I like to print reports like the Family Group Record, then mail them out to family members. I am finding that many of the family are using the Internet and am wondering if I could send the reports by e-mail rather than snail-mail. Is this possible?

A. Ancestry Family Tree lets you print Book reports to WordPerfect and RTF file format. It also lets you print these and all other reports to a text file.


Can you recommend this program; my mother is in the process of doing rather extensive research at present. I checked out the ancestry.com website & presume it is the free version you have.

34528 2002-02-06 20:16:00 Thank you evryone for your replies. I will try the suggestions.
Yes, Luke it is the free program from Ancestry.com, easy to use (once you get the hang of it!) and very comprehensive. I have a huge tree on it already. Hope your mother has more luck reasearching the family than I'm having. Many elusive family members!! Jan
