Never used it. But this is from their website:-

Importing
•Legacy imports both Personal Ancestral File® information as well as GEDCOM files.

Exporting
•All Family File information can be exported to a GEDCOM file. Various formats are available, including: Legacy, Gedcom 5.5, PAF 2.31 or 3.0, Ancestral File, Basic and Generic. The user has complete control over what is included in the exported file. You can specify which individuals are to be exported as well as what information is included. You can export all records or specify a subset by tag level or focus group.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the instructions re:exporting have to be there somewhere. Possibly in a drop-down menu?
Now that I have looked at all the details, I am quite interested. I have been using PAF for many years. Maybe now is the time to 'upgrade'.
