    Hi Annie -

    Correction to my last message, the folder we were having issues with was
    "C:\Users\Public\Desktop", and then we switched the setup to use
    "C:\Temp".

    Here's some more info from when we had the issue:

    Description Some users have reported this error when trying to compile
    their document type:

    Dtgen.exe Parser Error:...:
    cannot find file called markitx. Is it in the currently active directory
    Resolution
    The "markitx" file is a temporary file that is created at parsing time and
    is then removed after the parsing/compile process is completed. In
    Arbortext Editor, this file should be created within the current "working"
    directory. If you have restrictive permissions or a space problem in this
    "working" area, the "cannot find file markitx" error can result.

    You can see what your working directory is set to by turning on the
    "command line option" via "Tools/Prefences/Window/Command Line". Once you
    have done this you will see a "Command:" line at the bottom of your Editor
    screen. Now, type the following command into the "Command:" line:

    eval pwd()

    A panel will appear that shows the "working directory". This is the
    directory that they have to either open up the restrictive permissions on
    or clear up more disk space to allow Arbortext Editor to write the temp
    file.


    Thank you,
