Hi,
I have tried to model the bare bones of your scenario using the latest version of GenoPro : 

I have not tried to improve the layout of this genogram, but merely left it as generated by GenoPro's auto arrange algorithm.



and then generated a Narrative Report from it. see https://familytrees.genopro.com/genome/Post47819/default.htm

This appears to provide what you ask for, so the question now is what do you mean by 'unwanted standard wording into the descriptions boxes'  that stops you using the current version of GenoPro?  Perhaps there is a work-around for that.

It is diificult if not impossible to provide a solution for such and old version of GenoPro as I have no knowledge of the workings of the report generator in that release.

I have two married couples on my GenoPro file, complete with their ancestors and children.  In each couple a spouse died leaving a widow and widower, who then went on to marry each other.  How do I link the widow & widower with a new marriage link without affecting the marriage link to their departed spouse?  

To be clear, I am not asking for how to do this diagramatically, what I want is the generated GenoPro report to show, for both members of the newly married couple, their Marriage #1 with spouse & children, followed by their Marriage #2 with spouse and children.

I've tried the advice given in post #41707 entitled "How do I add brother married dead brother's wife", but this doesn't seem to work.  Ctrl/M does nothing on my version of GenoPro and Right click / Select does not offer and selection option to form a new marriage link to another existing person.

I use GenoPro v1.91 (the last version before GenoPro became object-oriented and started to generate unwanted standard wording into the descriptions boxes).  I guess this could limit what I can do.

If push comes to a shove, I could manually edit the html code generated by the GenoPro report generator, but I'd rather not do that. Alternatively, I could maybe create a GEDCOM export, tweak it, and then re-import it.  Again, not ideal, but it if works then the change might become permanent in my .gno file.

Any help greatly appreciated Smile
