Project Explorer Window - can't change focus

Recommended Posts

Hi: I am a new user, still playing with the trial.

 

When I open the Project Explorer window, the help screen says "When you highlight any name in the Project Explorer, it changes the focus person on the other windows." Problem is - it doesn't!

 

Whether I single- or double-click a name in the Project Explorer, the focus person in the Details window does NOT change (the other two windows, for Siblings and Children.

 

Is this a known bug in 7.0?

Yes, I see that statement on the "Cue Card." Press F1 to open Help when the Project Explorer is the window in focus for a more complete explanation.

 

The issue is that the behavior you see described only occurs when the Project Explorer is "linked" to the other screens. To link it, right-click on anyone in the Project Explorer screen and choose "Link Project Explorer to the other screens."

 

It will then work as described.

Bingo! That did it Terry. Odd that the default behaviour doesn't make these windows all linked.

Anyways, I'll have to go check out your tutorials/articles/book - thanks!
