It all looks OK now.  Thanks.

By the way, is there a reason why we use different dictionary.xml files for the '{EN} Descendant Tree' and the '{EN}Narrative Report' skins?
Looks as if we could use the Narrative Report dictionary in both skins, no?

Different Dictionary files are used because of the restriction imposed by GenoPro's Report Generator.  It expects to find Dictionary.xml in the root folder of each report skin.

A better design would have been to have a universal Dictionary for each language accessed by all report skins, but it is very unlikely that Dan would make such a change now.

I guess we could use symbolic links to link Dictionary.xml from each skin folder to a common folder for each language.  It would be a fair amount of work to merge the Dictionaries and test the result.  Ideally the GenoPro installer would create these links but, as with the Narrative Report and its link to the Narrative Common\Code folder,  it might be necessary to have a 'first run' script to establish the link for each report type.

Sorry, bad question.

I have no problem in copying the same Dictionary.xml file into different skin folders, I even prefer it that way.  I only noticed the dictionary in the Narrative skin is different from the one in the Descendant skin, although it looks as if Descendant could do with a copy of the Narrative.  In that case I would only need to maintain one Dictionary.xml file which I can copy into the different skins folders were needed.

Hope you can follow my reasoning.
