It is always frustrating to hit a snag in your workspace. But what do you do when things glitch continuously? How do you overcome computer crashes that are seemingly unnavoidable? Hmmm? I’ve hit a snag with Lectora– the program closes and I lose everything. Is it me? Is it the program? Am I breaking some simple law by trying to copy and paste content from one AWT to another? If I am, why isn’t it obvious? So far, I’ve learned,
- When you copy and paste chapters, often the buttons lose their destination designations (which can cause a crash)
- On a button, if there is anything (even grayed out) showing, it will crash– clean them all up
- Sometimes page numbers when copied (automatic page numbers) will cause a crash– remove before saving your work and reinstall the page numbering on the new AWT
That’s the end of my learnings because, in truth, I’m writing out of frustration. I have just restarted my computer (not just the program) for the 2nd time and I’m not sure I’ll be able to salvage my “lost” work from the last crash. I’m deconstructing an AWT that had 10 parts, and had successfully done 6 yesterday (with a few minor crashes which I thought I’d figured out), with only 4 more to go today, I thought I was home free. Sadly, not the case.
