\nNot the most elegant of solutions, but it’ll do in a pinch. Open the GEDCOM file in a text editor such as Apple’s TextEdit that comes with Mac OS X, and then save as a plain-text file. If you have problems with this method, highlight everything in the GEDCOM file after you open it up, then open a new TextEdit window, paste everything into it, then save it. Make sure and save with a .ged or .GED extension.<\/p>\n
