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.
