That should be “Create a shortcut to Outwiker.exe and set My Documents as the ?Start in? directory.”

Thanks for the suggestion Alexander - I tried it, still not working.
I can highlight a note in the notes tree but the editing area does not become “enabled” - it just stays gray.
I sent a screenshot and log to Jenyay ... he’ll probably see what the problem is.

Jim, I had a similar problem ... here’s what worked for me:
1. The top node can’t be edited. It is a container for the other nodes in the outline. Once I made a child, I could edit.
2. After creating a simple outline, I got stuck again. I could see my work, but couldn’t edit. I realized the pane where my work was had three tabs: wiki, preview, html. you can’t edit in “preview” ... only wiki and html.
For all:
its an interesting program, with potential. My only concern right now is how well it scales up ...
I have a mid-sized text file I pulled into the program intending to break up into chunks and play with - it worked, but took some time. It might be I have an older computer (I do), but what was easy in CT and other programs was slow here.
I’ll write again in a few days, when I’ve played more. My next test will be seeing how well it handles an annotated bibliography.
