I hope the problems with the emails is resolved with AOL quickly. Anyway, some programs let you export a GEDCOM in different formats. I like to always export one in RTF (Rich Text Format), which almost any word processing program can read. In Family Tree Maker, while viewing a Genealogy Report on someone, go to File>Export Genealogical File> then pick your format (Plain Text TXT, Rich Text RTF, or Acrobat Reader PDF).
