SYMPTOMS

When you are running Creative Writer on a Macintosh with Apple Macintosh System Software version 7.1.2 or later, and you attempt to drag a file from the Library wall to the Portfolio Rack, the drive on which you are attempting to copy the file is not highlighted. As a result, the file cannot be copied to the desired drive.

To place your files on a disk, you should save them directly to the disk, rather than use the Library.

RESOLUTION

Use the following steps to save files directly to a disk from within Creative Writer for the Macintosh:
  1. In Creative Writer, open the file that you want to save to another disk.
  2. Press SHIFT+COMMAND+A to go to the Control Room. Click OK.
  3. On the File menu, click Save As.
  4. Choose a name for your document and use the standard Macintosh list box to navigate to the desired disk.
  5. Click Save.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem does not occur in System 7.1 or earlier, and it does not occur with Fine Artist.
