| This has been around since the option was introduced to use approximate dates of birth and death in the Genogram, but I have only just noticed that the approximation indicator (~) is omitted in the index and the narrative parts of the report, whereas the SVG reflects the original Genogram - see highlighted points below: 
Would it be possible to include the ~ within the report?

At this point of releasing GenoPro 2.0, it is very risky to make a modification which may cause a bug somewhere else. Ron is the expert regarding the report generator. If he feels comfortable making the change and the impacts are not too significant, then this improvement is a big welcome.

I have not shown approximate dates as yet because I am not aware of any Report Generator property or method for extracting such dates. I have just done a bit of experimenting and the only way I can find to extract an such approximate dates is to use Individual.TagValue("Birth.Date") as check the result. But I wonder if there any built-in methods available? The .ToString(<format> ) method only seems to work for a full date, i.e. with day, month and year present. I have found that the only viable method to check or format dates is ToStringNarrative that formats the date as per the control panel. If there are no built in methods then yes I can provide some code without too much effort or risk that will check for approximate dates and report accordingly.

Future updates will include more properties and methods to format dates. At the moment, I don't think there is a way to output the approximation symbol.

Well done : : v2b20d has the solution for 3 out of the 4 highlighted:
The only missing one is the Ancestor Pedigree Chart, but that is less important.

| There is a problem with approximate dates where the exact birth date is known and the date of death is approximated. As an example: Date of Birth: 7 Mar 1779 Date of Death: >1826 The report prints "He died at the age of 47 after 1826." Obviously, there is no way of knowing how old he was when he died as the date of death is approximated. I would suggest that the age not be calculated/printed if any date is an apoproximation.

It does look a bit strange. Are you using a customised report skin? The standard skin only shows year of birth whereas your example has some full dates hence I assume a custom skin is being used. The repeated approximation symbol may be due to a problem with the Date.ToString method. However I cannot explain the doubling of dates. Can you give more details of your customisation? I would suggest that the age not be calculated/printed if any date is an apoproximation. I agree. I had missed this issue. I will tweak the report to exclude age at death if date of birth or death are approximated.

Thanks Ron.
I used this symbol "~" before 20d too. When I make a new file whit 20d and use the ~ the report is good. But if I use my original file which cointains ~ symbols the report looks like in the picture.
I used the original skin.
There is one of my files:
