Problem adding files to project

WHAT am I  DOING wrong?

I have to add files to a project. So I double click on the project in the project view and shift to the file view

There, I see one view with the progress bars, but then, after home>add files, I get a view with no progress bars, looks a bit different.

I can’t do anything with the new file, though. So I have to close Studio and reopen it – there’s the view with the progress bars, but the new documents aren't there.

The only way I’ve figured out to get there: try to add the one of the files again. THEN it says: you already have a file with that name!

When I close that message, I’m in the no-progress-bar view; the file, usually, is a doc or docx file, so it can't be opened. I select the file, prepare it, and then then... again, I can't double click on the file.

So AGAIN I quit out and restart Studio, after which the file is there and I'm in the progress bar view and, at last, it opens on a double-click in the editor.

That just CAN’T be right!

Help?

  • Following Paul's advice I would like to add, that Studio (and most other software) requires a systematic way of working. So you take a step and wait for the applications response. Then you look what you get and take the next step. Should the step you taken go in the wrong direction, repeat all other steps but that one and when it comes to decision, take a different step, watching out the result. This way you can not only achieve the desired goal, but also learn how the software works. Provided of course, that you will work systematically and remember (or take notes) what was done when and why.
    Best regards, Jerzy
