Outline Disk is Write—Protected!

Where It May Occur: Varies

Possible Causes: You’ve tried to open, add to, or change an outline on a “write—protected” disk. ThinkTank will let

you examine the outline, but the commands for adding or

changing information (e.g. NEW, COPY, DELETE) will not appear on menus.

Suggested Solutions: Remove the “write—protect tab” from the notch on the disk to enable ThinkTank to record information on it. If you want to assure that the information aLready on the disk will not be inadvertently erased, make a backup copy or use a different disk. You may have to close

and reopen the outline to get the “writing” commands to reap- pear.

Outline File Disappeared!

Where It May occur: Multi—user hard disk systems only

Possible Causes: While you were working on an outline, another user deleted your outline file!

Suggested Soluions: Restore your outline from a backup

copy.

Outline Format is Not Compatible!

Where It May Occur: FILES/EXISTS

Possible Causes: You’ve tried to open an outline that was created on a different computer or with a different and incompatible version of ThinkTank.

Suggested Solutions: Use the other computer or version of ThinkTank to port the outline to a text file. Then port

the file back into an outline on your current system.
