The way it was designed, I think. I don't know why they didn't gray out
"Spouse Events" when you choose an ancestor report. The idea is that your
ancestor's spouse is also your ancestor, and you don't want their biography
printing twice. I know I wouldn't want it in there twice.<g>
The problem with this logic is that your ancestor's spouse is not always
your ancestor. As example, both of my grandfathers were married twice, but
in an ancestor report the only one of their spouses that appear are my
grandmothers. Except for the sentences where it says that my grandfathers
married them, neither my maternal grandfather's first wife nor my paternal
grandfather's second wife is mentioned. Even if I wanted them in an
ancestor report I couldn't do it except in a word processor.
