All genealogy programs that I have ever used have a "Help" on the menu. Under the "Help" you will find much good information about your program, including importing and exporting GEDCOMs. Everyone should know how to do this simple task, as it saves the receiver so much time not having to key in all the information. Also, when you purchased your genealogy program there was probably a Users Manual included. In the index look under GEDCOMs, importing & exporting.
