I’m afraid that is not the answer. My only choice to make a “GEDCOM for FTM16” and when I checked it in Word it did not include either the media files or links to the files. As with the “GEDCOM 5.5” option the box to include media files was greyed out.
However I did try it and imported the “GEDCOM for FTM16” into Legacy but no media files are found.

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That will include all the FTM information and give Legacy the maximum amount of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.
