SYMPTOMS

If you use adult mode (the Control Room) to save a document you created in the Project Workshop, it won't appear to get saved when you try to save it again in normal mode. In reality it is saved, but it is saved under a default name. You are not given the option to give the document a unique name.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Creative Writer version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.1a. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. These symptoms are not displayed Fine Artist.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. In the Project Workshop, choose to make a banner, a card, or a newspaper. The wizard starts.
  2. Follow a few of the instructions to add text or borders, then press CTRL+SHIFT+A to go to adult mode (the Control Room).
  3. From the File menu, choose Save As. Name the document.
  4. From the File menu, choose Return to Creative Writer. This returns you to the document.
  5. Continue to follow the wizard's instructions until Max asks you if you want to save your work. Choose yes.
Creative Writer does not ask you to name your document, and the name displayed at the bottom of the screen does not change. If it's a banner, for example, it will still display "Banner in Progress" instead of a specific banner name. "Banner in Progress" has become the name of this specific document.
