Newbie here. After three hours of editing I packed up he project and selected a folder with a new name on the save as page and hit save. Now I can see the folder icon on the page but it will not open. What am I doing wrong? I just noticed that when you highlight different lines on the page, the box at the bottom changes from save to open. That must have something to do with the problem. Thanks.

Hi clockmaker

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble, and maybe we can go over this step-by-step to see what's going on. There are a couple of menu options starting with Pack Project Materials and one called Save Project As. If you open up PD13 again, you should remember which one you used.

I can't tell if you packed the project and saved it as something else, or only did one of those steps, and it would help to know which one(s) you did.

I'm also not clear where you're seeing the "folder icon on the page" and where the box change from Save to Open.

To reopen the project, the easiest way is to click on the File menu and down near the bottom you'll see a Recent Files > option. If you hover your cursor over that, a list will pop up on the right side and the top project should be the most-recent project you edited in PD. If you click on that the project should load. Does that help?
