A GEDCOM file is a plain text file but the lines are organized in a
special way and include key words that let genealogy programs understand
the contents. Each program then stores the contents in their own special
data format when they import the GEDCOM file.
You can open any GEDCOM file with a text editor like the Notepad that is
built into Windows.

Your comments on making my Gedcom a Text file have me confused. I
normally just ask Ancestry to make a Gedcom, did not know I should make
some adjustment to it or that I could even do something different. Feel
free to email me directly with some help on this if you would.
