Re: Version x templates

[Rob Harper <jharper () students ! wisc ! edu>]

I've had a problem much like Barrie's, so I doubt that the location of 
your database is at fault.  I just downloaded beta 8.0x, and 
immediately opened the style manual dialog to see the promised new 
manuals.  In the "Style Manual" menu at the bottom, I chose "other 
customized style manuals," and got pop ups asking me whether I wanted 
to install the Chicago Dissertation and the Southern Baptist Seminary 
manuals.  I chose to add the first, and the Chicago Dissertation style 
now appears in the Style Manual menu.  But when I attempt to apply it 
to a document, I get the "file not found" error message Barrie 
describes.  

I did find the desired file in the NBWIN directory (as did Barrie) and 
attempted to paste it into the Template directory, but only got a 
different error message.  

Is there a bug in the template installation process?  Or is this a 
problem specific to certain machines?  

Rob
