    1. Re: [FTM-TECH] Exporting Individuals
    2. John Okerson
    3. > I have FTM 16 and I'm needing to export Part of my file to share with a cousin. When I go to "File" and choose "Export File" I have choices of "Entire file, Selected Individuals, and Copy/Export Individuals. My problem: If I choose Selected Individuals, I am not exporting my Media. If I try to select Copy/Export Individuals....it is grayed out and will not let me choose it. How can I "fix" this problem? I have used Copy/Export in the past, but it has stopped working, I do want to share my pictures along with the data. I am age 85 and am not Computer Savvy, so I need a simple answer. You have started the right direction, but to include your Media, you MUST choose .ftw as the export format, NOT .ged! This means that the cousin with whom you intend to share your data MUST have FTM 16 (or a program which can read .ftw files). Virtually every current genealogy program can read .ged, but that is NOT true with .ftw. John Okerson from Memphis, TN PS If you need MORE help, feel free to ask!
