Cutting and pasting branches of family trees with FTM

You should pick the proper location for your queries.
I have a old version of FTM thogh I expect newer versions will work the same way.I can export data by making an outline report then click on the file subheading for the main menu and pick save (or something like that).If you are in the right place you will see the save screen that allows you to pick a name and extention.The saved information will include all your information for persons in your outline report.To add a branch again go to file while you are in the target fileand select import, pick the branch and it will be imported.Then you need to merge the individuals.I would back up all the trees you will be "playing with" before you start.I expect you will make at least one mistake.Sorry I can not be more clear but I have not done any cutting and pasting in over a year.
