Co:Writer Concerns

The other day, I was showing a teacher Co:Writer software and got a little surprise. Co:Writer was not sending the completed sentence in the sentence window to Word, nor would it do so in any other word processor. What a surprise! A search of the Don Johnston support site (Co:Writer is a DJ product) produced the following resolution to the problem.


Why is Co:Writer is only sending the first few letters/words of my sentence to my word processor?

On some Windows systems the Auto-Hide option needs to be enabled within Co:Writer for the proper transfer of the sentence window.

Click the Settings button on the floating palette in Co:Writer SE.

Click the Prediction tab.

Check the box labeled Auto-Hide and click OK.

If the Settings button is not available under More Commands then you will need to login to Co:Writer as a teacher. In the Teacher Options you can then select your student from the Writer drop-down list (It will say "Teacher" by default until you select the students name). You can then click the Settings button in the Teacher Options palette to access that students settings.

Hope this helps those of you who encounter this problem with Co:Writer.
