I have been trying to make this point for almost a year, since I "upgraded"
to TMG 7.4. What my problem with Wholly Genes is that they didn't say up
front, that this situation existed. Only after I bought and paid for my new
version, did I discover that it's basically unable to produce an editable
report with my new computer.
So, now I have had to buy another software and gedcom my data into it, in
order to produce reports that I can edit.
