In the file Home.htm, changing to is the recommended way to insert HTML text.
This hint was very useful, since I could limit the number of specialized skins.
Since I have to make an English and a separate German report from the same gno file, how can I select the proper flash file from a subfolder, if I keep the home.htm untouched and include a script(?) for this in the Document Tab when making the report?

Just been reading your post re adding extra pages to my document. I hope you won't think I am ungrateful, but it just way too scary for me to do that - opening htm files and changing the script within them is a recipe for disaster for a novitiate like me. I bit like putting a 17 year old at the wheel of a Porsche Carrerra. Way too scary. There is no danger. If you screw up, you just have to delete your custom skin and try again. The built-in skin named English Narrative Report is embedded inside executable GenoPro.exe, so there is no danger for anyone to accidentally modify it. In the file Home.htm, changing | @[Report.WriteText doc.Description ]@ |
to | @[Report.Write doc.Description ]@ |
is the recommended way to insert HTML text. In the future, GenoPro will support built-in HTML tags directly in a comment. See Excluding comments from a report for better privacy for further details.

because the links are there in the pane instead of having the pain of opening a new document!
That is what I thought. However do not be put off by the long list of instructions. They appear to be much more complicated than they really are because I tried to put all of the steps in - in case people wanting to try the idea have not come across any of the features.
To put your mind at rest you can not muck anything up as the main skins used by GenoPro are hidden from the likes of you & me.
Secondly you should not affect your GenoPro data as the changes are only in the Report Generator. I would, in any case, save the document with a different name as a back-up version - you never know when it might come in handy. I managed to delete a group of people from my working document and retrieved them from last month's back-up.
Finally of course you can check if it works by writing the report to disc. The links will still work there.
Give it a go! - that is if you think it is an improvement

There is a work around for this. Put the pdf file into the images folder or a subfolder of images and make your reference to this location. The file will be transferred to the familytrees.genopro.com site. Every file from the skin will be copied to the output report (familytrees.genopro.com). For instance the javascript file is copied without any transformations. Yes, you can add your files/images/pdf/attachments to the skin folder until the "ftp" client will be available.

Problem will be to put them on the GenoPro site - which will become possible when the ftp utility is implemented

Hi there (Appleshaw),Hey, I've got a Blue Square! Just been reading your post re adding extra pages to my document. I hope you won't think I am ungrateful, but it just way too scary for me to do that - opening htm files and changing the script within them is a recipe for disaster for a novitiate like me. I bit like putting a 17 year old at the wheel of a Porsche Carrerra. Way too scary. Also, since you last visited, I have successfully added a Links (Web References) page - it should be there now. And it works. (Although there is no right click - Open in a new window option, so browsing takes place within my Report pane) However, I have looked at what you did at: http://familytrees.genopro.com/appleshaw/test/ and it looks much better than mine because the links are there in the pane instead of having the pain of opening a new document! This is way better but I am just too scared to try it yet. I will practise on what I have so far, keep the workaround to which you refer, along with your posting, and come back to it when I have progressed to the "Two Blue Square" level!! Oh, your losing of the spaces between the documents on my Homepage is better than mine and wll feature in my next update. Thank you very much. Boyd

One or two comments here. If you are going to put a document on a web site it is easier for the user if you convert it to htm format. This will preserve most of the formatting and can probably include pictures although they may end up in different positions. Most word processors will save as an htm file in addition to their native format. If you do not have Word available then open source programs will do it for you eg Open Office
Another way to fully preserve formatting is to save it as a pdf file.
Problem will be to put them on the GenoPro site - which will become possible when the ftp utility is implemented
Secondly GenoPro does have another option to reference web files. Have another look at
http://familytrees.genopro.com/appleshaw/test/
This is based on the work around set out at http://support.genopro.com/FindPost10472.aspx
This is useful for adding a few web references to your home page - as in the test. If you want to copy this to your document then the steps are
1) Copy the text at the end of this message (between the ****s) and put it into the Description pane of the Document tab of the Report Generator
2) Edit the file home.htm of the skin. If you can not find this it may be that it has not been unpacked. In the Report Generator click on the arrow of the box 'Skin Name' and check if a Customized Report exists. If not then click the button New Skin which will create it. You can then edit the file which will now exist under the GenoPro Beta program file.
3) Find the line containing | @[Report.WriteText doc.Description ]@ |
This was at line 34 in my version. Delete the letters 'Text' to producre @[Report.Write doc.Description ]@ and save the file.
4) In the Report Generator select the Customized skin and generate the report
I hope this will all work

Boydgray26 has hosted this document on the server at Genopro. He is trying to access a Microsoft Word document. I would suggest that a .TXT file would be better suited as more users can access this file format.
