Forum Newbie Forum Members Last Login: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Posts: 1, Visits: 5	Hi, I recently purchase software. However, I cannot figure out how to paste data from a spreadsheet into GenoPro. I have datastored in Microsoft Access tables, and would like to transfer existing datainstead of re-typing thousands of entries. I have viewed the videos, from which Icannot tell how to paste in numerous lines of data at a time. The videos showhow to paste in one field. Please advise. Tags: Last Post; Excel

It cannot figure out on itselve if it's a name or place you specify or a birth or death date. Regardless if you use Access or Excel, I believe the best way to go is to export your data to a text file, add the necessary GEDCOM tags to it, and import it as a GEDCOM file into GenoPro. Try inputting some data about at least one family with children directly into GenoPro and use the "File/Export/Via report generator" to produce a simple GEDCOM file. This should tell you the basics about how to format a GEDCOM file with your data. You can use this for the bulk of your data and add the details later on by hand.

Look at http://www.tedpack.org/text2ged.html or if you are into VBa basic then http://www.vyger.co.uk/rootsmagic/excel-to-gedcom.html might be of use
