have downloaded this for Numeracy and Literacy and it keeps locking up and
freezing . Have got the latest version. Not very impressed - it's about as
useful as a blind dog for David Blunkett.

Seems easier to use Open Office or Word and just cut and paste it - oho
hum..

is it me or the dfee???

A couple of people, well a Numeracy adviser and our Numeracy Coordinator (so
no bias there) have said it is quite useful, mainly because the tool
automatically resizes the text objectives as they are pasted and there is a
'bin' panel at the side where objectives can be held. So there.

format.... It's horrible. Yuk!
The 'bin' sounds like a good idea though...I think it might get full
quite quickly though Wink
