Actually, I *tried* to save my 4D Write letter -- both as a template and as a file. My "letters" originate in blobs, in a table called [LtrTemplate]. From the input form of that record, I have the 4D Write area that displays the letter's content. I use the 4D Write menu to select File:Save (or File:Save As...) and instead of it actually doing this, I get an alert that says the file has not been saved. What gives?
