Importing lists to CLOOZ seems to be the biggest hang-up I've seen on this
list. I finally succeeded at getting my list of names from PAF 2.2, but was
a really tough go.
I do not know anything about FTM, but since nobody has responded to this
message, let me suggest that you go to:
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/ and download a Free copy of LEGACY (I did
this in order to make my first import into CLOOZ) From there it is a fairly
simple matter to export a GedCom from FTM and import that GedCom into LEGACY
and an even more simple process to export a name list from LEGACY to CLOOZ.
It worked flawlessly for me.
If you "dink around" with LEGACY a bit, you may find that you like this
freebie program even better than FTM.
Best of Luck and Happy New Year
Jim
