Another feature that would be useful is Global Replace, similar to "Replace" in Microsoft Word. Sometimes we want to change the way a surname or placename or profession has been spelled/specified. It is very easy, of course, to locate all relevant entries, however in the current version all changes have to be done manually, one by one. A global replace would be great.

I agree this is a good suggestion. This is a 2.x feature as well.

In the meantime, you can use the Table Layout to do bulk editing. For instance, if you have several surnames misspelled. you can click on the column "Last Name" to group all of them together. You can then use Excel and fill a column of the correct last name and paste it to GenoPro, or just repeat the paste operation.

Could you explain this feature further? Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't get more than 1 item at a time to paste from Excel to GenoPro. And only to certain columns... for example, the Last Name column works but the Occupation column does not. (I guess only the editable columns from the Table Layout.)
