VP Alert, Browse Mode Error Message - #4213

            VP Alert Browse Mode Error Message

            When copying a chapter in Manage Publication (using the
            Copy All command), you may encounter the following error
            message upon re-opening the copied chapter if, while in
            Manage Publication, you were in Chapter Mode rather than
            Publication mode.
 
            "Browse Mode should be used for opening read-only chapters.
     If the chapter: E:\BROWSE\PUBCOPY3\BROWSE.CHP is not
     read-only, then it is currently being read/writter to by another user."

     Ensure that you're in Publication mode in Manage
            Publication when copying a chapter. It's not necessary
            for the chapter to actually belong to a publication.

            Switching Between Chapter & Publication Mode in Manage
            Publication

            To toggle between Chapter and Publication mode, simply
            deselect any and all of the chapters listed in the
            Publication List (the list of chapters for the current
            publication – see page 110 of the Training Guide for a
            description/illustration of the Multi-Chapter Operations
            dialog – shown on next page). If any chapters are
            selected in this list, you will be in Chapter mode, which
            will be obvious by the Mode: setting of 'Chapter' (below
            the Add Chapter and Remove Chapter buttons). Without any
            chapters highlighted, you'll notice that this will change
            to Mode: Publication.

            Only copy chapters when in this mode, to avoid the Browse
            Mode error message upon reopening the original chapter.

            Where this can be a bit confusing, is if your chapter
            doesn't yet belong to a publication and you simply intend
            to use the Manage Publication dialog to copy your
            chapter. Beware when you Add a chapter to the list, for
            you'll notice that when it first appears in the list,
            even though it's highlighted, the Mode: will be
            Publication. It's not, though! It's really in Chapter
            mode. In this case, simply click on the chapter in the
            list to deselect it (you'll notice the Mode: remains at
            Publication it is really Publication mode, now) and then
            go ahead and Copy the chapter.

            So when the Browse Mode message appears simply close down
            Corel VENTURA and restart it. Then open your chapter and
            make sure you follow the method described in this
            document when copying chapters.
