Your experience of exporting names from RootsMagic has been my experience. I believe RootsMagic has a design flaw in its software. Try creating a GROUP with the names of those you are trying to extract. Then try and extract the GROUP. I have had some success with this approach. Joseph W.

When I choose dead people after clicking on "select from list" the program selects everyone in the database. I have tried this numerous times with the same results. Am I doing something wrong or is the program malfunctioning? I was horror-struck to discover ALL my personal info on WorldConnect, and I thought I had removed it. I had to delete the gedcom on WorldConnect, but the names of "liviing" people are still showing there, just not connected to anyone. I've sent them a msg to find out why deleting the gedcom didn't delete the people in the gedcom. Woe is me...
