Hello!
I have two questions:
#1. Several years ago, I used a trial edition of Genopro to create a genealogy of teacher-student relationships in a religious group that I am studying for my PhD dissertation. Now, the Chinese text that accompanied names and places is corrupted. What happened and how can I restore the Chinese text? I certainly don't want to type it all again.
#2. But I would like to know if there is a pre-made template that I can use to help me to create a master-disciple genealogy. I am not dealing with father-son relationships, but rather with master-disciple relationships and need to enter relevant data.
Thanks for any help you can offer!!

#1 Was the early work with GenoPro 1 or a Beta version of 2? The 'corruption' is probably due either to use of different character sets or to a different Windows code page. Should be sortable.
#2 You could use a father son relationship and then change the link from biological child to adopted. The report generator could also be changed to show that an adopted child is a disciple.
Alternatively you could use the Social relationship link which can be annotated and contain information. You can also use the Social Entity/Organisation figure to group people
GenoPro does not go in for templates, leaving the user to make decisions, rather than pre-defining them

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I can't remember if the file was made with Version 1 or a beta of version 2. I made that file in 2005.
But how can I 'sort out' the Chinese font problem? What methods should I use to resolve this? This type of corruption should not happen (in an ideal world)
I'll look forward to any suggestions!

Since Windows in different languages have also different fonts installed, you may try first to find a font from your existing installation. Look under Menu option "properties" dialog box the font tab and try to select one of those selected fonts for Chinese. Try several fonts until you find a suitable one.

I have not used different languages but have you tried changing the language from the main menu? There are two options here, traditional or simplified Chinese.
If you used version 1 of Genopro You can download this from the archive http://www.genopro.com/beta/archives/ and run it in parallel with 2007. If this will open your original file ( not one saved from 2007) then you know where it was created. If it works, export it as an xml file and open that in your new version

You may change the Active Character Set. Click on the Tools menu and select Display Alphabets. When opening old .gno files, GenoPro uses the Active Charset to convert to Unicode.
