Tribal Pages Gedcom only saving as word format (Windows 10).....Sorted
« on: Sunday 16 August 20 21:15 BST (UK) »
Up until a few weeks ago I could download and save my files from TP in ged format but since the recent update they download and I have to open the file before the option to save. They open in as a text file and can only be saved as a text file not the .ged format.

Any suggestions please?

Ah, they're going to a download file in ged format so have to be moved across manually, any attempt to open them as prompted by Win10 opens them as a word file.

Hi
Ensure you have at least an extra copy of the file.

Ensure the filenamecopy is "anythingsomethingelse.GED" [ rename it ]
You are going to work with "anythingsomethingelse.GED", Rightclick/openwith whatever program you used before the upgrade.
Did that work? If yes then that's what you are working with longterm.
PM me if you need further help or it did not work.
