Michele,
Legacy has direct import for PAF.
See in Legacy: File - Import and choose your PAF version.

That may work better than going via Gedcom from PAF to Legacy.

M/F choices are greyed out in Legacy 8 when someone is married.
In Legacy 9 you can enter same sex relationships so they are no longer greyed out. If they are the greyed out and the wrong gender, if both partners have the wrong gender you can use Edit - Swap husband and wife to correct unless one of them has more than one partner. In that case you have to unlink, change gender while they are "single" and relink them.

Living choice is greyed out when the entered dates determine the result. If anything at all is entered in the death or burial fields, they will be marked as Living - NO.

If you don't want to start again with direct import, then do a File - File Maintenance - Check/Repair which may fix some gender issues.

I have transferred via GEDCOM two PAF files from my old laptop to my
new one. All went well in the transfer. But on opening the files. I
see that there are many instances where M or F is not marked (as I had
done in PAF) and both choices are greyed out! How to fix?

The alive or deceased choice is also greyed out.

I also downloaded the map add-on, but that gives bizarre results.
Eg. I have no one from either tree living in Nth America, but a red
flag/marker often shows locations there. How to rectify?

Thank you in advance
