Subject: Re: [FreeHelp] Word Family history into a Gedcom

If one was absolutely brilliant at Gedcom 5.5 I suppose one could
convert the word stuff into text and runs macros to convert to gedcom tags.
But I've looked at gedcom trying to fix errors some new software said
was wrong but did not offer a fix - threw that out. But my mind was
boggled. Html is much easier.
If it was excel than always possible could be converted to Access and
then patched say into Legacy.

Is it a lot of data?

Re-entering into some new gedcom program would probably be more
productive then trying some script or other. And you get to learn all
the ancestors again.

Reminds me time to make sure my gedcom is uptodate.

Now this site says
