Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Your right, I was overly harsh and opinionated, I aplogise. Guess it was the frustration of seeking a solution to the problem of getting good documentation out of EA, but ending up instead with a new set of problems. I have been using EA for over 10 years and have admired Geoff Sparx’ vision and dedication. So its congratulations aqnd thanks for what you guys are trying to acheive

Is there an easy way to check why the word API is not responding? I’m trying to hand the problem over to our tech support people.

Regards,
Dave

Tried to upload the xmi file for the ea project, xmi is not a permissable extension!!
Also, could not copy the trace data into clipboard (copy text to clipboard is in a useless part of the dialogue).
Are you guys on top of your latest release!!!! or did you outsource it somewhere and not do sufficient QA?

Sorry to be so critical but I have rarely installed software with so many basic problems, well at least not in the last 10 years anyway.
