Can't you "Export" to a GEDCOM report, and thence export to a GEDCOM file?

If You Are Exporting a GEDCOM File From...
Family Tree Maker

From the File menu, select Copy/Export Family File.
Click the Save as type drop-down list and select GEDCOM.
In the File name field, type a name for the GEDCOM file. It must have the extension .GED.
In the Save in fields, select the drive and folder where you want to place your file.
Click Save and Family Tree Maker displays the Export to GEDCOM dialog box.
Make your selections from the dialog box as follows -- Destination: FTW, Version: 5.5, Character set: ANSEL, check the Abbreviate tags box.
Click the OK button and the GEDCOM file will be created.
