Paula and Elizabeth, You don't have to compromise on the export, you can still keep Source Writer sources.
1. DO NOT export as GEDCOM. 2. Export as a Legacy file, from the file menu: File>Export to>Legacy File You can use a focus group or tag the subset you want. 3. Export it. 4. It will ask if you want to open it.
