Something wierd just happened to my software and I could really use some help solving it. When I click on the button to open another file, the browse drop down no longer drops down. Instead, a line appears in the middle of the screen for me to type the address of the file I want to open. This requires that I remember exactly where my files are and what I have named them, rather than just giving me choices to locate the file I want to open. Help! Major slowed production due to this problem.

Hi,

your Dialogue box has been disabled. Not sure how but it's something to do with compatibility with older versions.

Try entering    Filedia. it should be set to 0. Enter 1.

This controls whether file commands are viewed as drop downs or in the command line.
