The following instructions are for Ultimate Family Tree, version 3.0. Remember, this process will create a new file; it will not erase or replace your current file. Be sure you have the correct project open in Ultimate Family Tree. Pull down the File menu. Select Save as. In the Save As window, change the file type (located at the bottom left corner) to GEDCOM. Give the file a name (be sure to erase the * that is included in the file name). Select the folder where you want to save the file. Click OK. In the Save As GEDCOM options window, select GEDCOM Format Family 5.5 (which was the current GEDCOM standard as of this writing). Click the Submitter button to enter your name and address (if you want). Click OK. The GEDCOM file will then be created. You will know it is done when you see the message box stating the GEDCOM is complete -- then your file is ready to be submitted to the WorldConnect Project.
