Tip on upgrading to Ami Pro 3.1

Tip on upgrading to Ami Pro 3.1

JAKARTA (JP): When I installed SmartSuite 3.0, my Ami Pro was
also upgraded to Version 3.1. However, right after the upgrade I
started having problems editing the files that I had previously
created in Version 3.01. Each time I tried to activate Thesaurus,
Ami Pro returned a message that it couldn't find the necessary
files. So, thinking that the installation procedure was not
perfectly carried out, I reinstalled the entire suite. I still
got the same message.

I even erased all of the old Ami Pro's files, SmartSuite and
their subdirectories and reinstalled the package afresh. It was
no fun at all, as the suite came in thirty 3.5" diskettes. Still,
it didn't work.

Finally, I found the answer. Apparently, Ami Pro 3.01 stored
information about the thesaurus files found in its document as
well. When Version 3.1 opened the files, it tried to locate the
thesaurus files referred to in them that were erased during
installation.

So, if you happen to have the same message on your screen as
you try to activate Thesaurus, follow my seven-step solution: (1)
Open the 3.01 file; (2) Highlight the entire content of the file;
(3) Copy the selected content to the clipboard; (4) Close the
file; (5) Create a new file; (6) Paste everything from the clip
board, and (7) Save the file with the old 3.01 filename. When
you're asked whether you want to replace the existing file, just
click on Yes.

In the new file with the same old name, you'll no longer have
difficulty accessing the thesaurus.
