Thanks for your feedback Scott and Roderick and Terence. I have uninstalled, downloaded and reinstalled 2.0.3. I also reinstalled the dictionaries I am using. So far, in the work I have done, new words have been saved into, and retained by the dictionaries. The recent documents section is remembering my recent documents. For the time being the problem has been solved.
Thanks for your attention to this matter. And thanks too must especially go to the volunteers. You guys rock!!! -----Original Message----- From: Scott Rhoades [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 12:49 AM To: [email protected]; Ollie Olorenshaw Subject: RE: [users] FW: Writer not saving settings and new info About settings and info not getting saved: Are you seeing it in brand new installs, upgrades from earlier versions, or both? I have a hunch. I think the problem you're reporting is related to the macro problem I've been fighting with. I don't know the cause, but I find it interesting that things like macros, dictionaries, and the like do not appear in the paths list on a fresh install, and these are the kinds of things you're reporting as not being saved. I don't know how the recent documents problem fits in. As far as I can tell, there's no connection between recent docs and paths, and, although I'm not a big user of Recent Documents, it looks like it works for me. 2.0.3 for XP seems to have trouble saving some settings and add-ons. I can't confirm anything, really, other than what I've seen and what I've read about on this list. On my own computers, I have the problems on XP machines with fresh 2.0.3 installs, but not on XPX or Win2k machines that have been upgraded to 2.0.3 from earlier versions, and not on Linux boxes, whether upgraded or installed fresh. You might try installing 2.0.2 or something even earlier, then upgrade to 2.0.3 and see if it fixes the problem. Or maybe I should try it myself, and maybe I will one of these days, when I have more time to test this theory a little more.
