2007 feature manager design tree

I have not seen that problem here at all. I presume you resize it by dragging it anywhere along the bar? Have you tried the little "open/close" triangles - do they work for you?

Thanks Wayne. Yes I was dragging the bar at no specific location, which did resize properly, but would stay session to session. Once I made sure to drag the bar within the triangles the resizing survived file close/open. Annoying, but workable.

I'm not sure why you are seeing what you are seeing as I can grab the bar anywhere anytime and it seems to behave properly. I just tried a test with moving it, closing the model file, closing SW, then reopening that file and the bar was where I left it.

Did just find the cause. Operater 'tardation.

Basically have had two folder locations for templates ( the tutorials folder, and data folders ). Going from 2006 to 2007 maintained all my settings ( so I thought ), so folder locations and order of preference were correct in tools-options-settings-file locations. What did not survive the transition was the option for File-new-advanced-template folder location preference.

When I'd edit one template to get the tree size I liked, I'd save it to the default path ( data folder ), which is where I've always put them. When hitting file-new it was pulling templates from the tutorial folder even though the tools-options-file locations settings should have used the ones in the data folder. Clear as mud?.... Again, ultimately, Carlos Mencia would refer to me as Dee-Dee-Dee for having let this get by me. I've done upgrades for 2001-2007 every year. I should have known.

Ahh, the old sleight of hand trick, eh? Glad you found the problem - too bad you weren't in on the "trick." :-)
