I do not know how to use Chinese as the input language into the GenoPro Table Layout? Please teach me or give me the instruction to do that. Thanks,

I can type in Chinese but once I press {enter}, they are displayed as "?" marks. I am using Windows 2000.

I did not see a Property option under File menu. I saw a Preference option under the Edit menu and made sure I had selected Arial Unicode MS as the Font Name and CHINESE_BIG5 as the Script. I am running the evaluation version 1.99c of the software. Thanks.

The version 2.0 beta fully supports Unicode fonts. I recommend you download the beta from here. It is very stable and has lots more features than v1.99c - both versions can co-exist on your machine. You can have free registration for 30 days, which can be renewed for each new beta that is released. If I understand correctly, you can use an earlier version of the beta - 13h - for free.

Had a look at the webpage and suggest to have a look into the way you display the names. You can set each person or you take a global approach by selecting a different style of the display name (with no space between the characters). This will make your display more compact and not so stretched.
The english text can be changed to chinese in the dictionary.xml file. Have done some tests on this, but I am waiting now for the new beta with improved date display.

Hello experienced Chinese users,I would really appreciate advice on how well GenoPro works in terms of entering English, Cantonese, and Mandarin on the fly. For example, can I show an English name with the Cantonese and Mandarin names in brackets, directly in the family tree or report? I am considering getting GenoPro but have not decided yet, as there seems to be only a few packages that can support multiple languages well. Thanks.

There are several ways, but the best for you would be to give it a try. You will never regret having tried this great software.
You can enter names into those available fields such as first name, middle name, last name, second last name, alternative name and nickname in either language and under the display options you decide which part of the name and how you want the name to appear in the chart or in the report. You can not show the English name in horizontal format and the Chinese name in vertical format at the same time. You have to decide which way to go.
And with the help of the NameDictionary file you can have even other names being shown in the report by using a custom skin.
