The only way I can save a file is as ART or BMT.
The weird thing is that I can copy and paste as long as I'm loged in under
my name. If I switch users to my daughters name then I can no longer paste.
When I do the only thing that comes up is an empty box with the eight drag
handles around the parimeter.
