I keep running into a problem where I can't print work notes. It keeps saying that "nothing selected to distribute" even though I select to do and the appropriate columns. I saw on a video tutorial that would happen until you selected who you wanted it to get sent to. In LW6 though, that option is not where it was in the older version. Anyone have a solution or a walk through to print work notes in LW6?

In order to distribute work notes and avoid the "nothing selected to distribute" message:
* Each work note you want to print needs to have a category (Work, Focus, Ltwright, Plot, etc.) check marked. It doesn't need more than one, but it can. These are set by clicking the appropriate column at the right of the work note window.
* Each work note you want to print needs to have its Status set to To Do, Discuss, or On Hold. These are set by clicking the "Status" column in the work note window (the third column).
* In the Work Note Distribution window, you need to choose "To Do", "Discuss", or "On Hold" and there need to be work notes with one or more of those statuses.
* You need to have people in the list of "Who do you want to receive the work notes?". For each person on the list, you need to:
= Click the first column to put a check mark there indicating you want that person to receive a copy of the work notes.
= If you are printing, the Print column needs to be checked, and the Qty column needs a number higher than zero.
= If you want to Transmit the work notes to a person on your local network and also running Lightwright with the same .lw6 file open that you have open, you need to click the "Transmit" column.
= If you want to Email the work notes, you need to set up Email Sending using the button at the bottom of the Work Note Distribution window, and each person must have an email address assigned to that person (using Lightwright's Setup/People & Network menu command).
= If you want to Export the work notes, click the Export column. That produces a special file that you can give to another person using the same .lw6 file as you are, they drag and drop it into their Work Notes window and their work note list will get your notes or update existing ones.
= You need to check which categories you want each person to get, and there have to be work notes that have that category check marked.
If you plan to send work notes to the same people (with the same categories, etc.) often, click one of the "S" buttons (Set Preset) in the upper right corner of the Work Note Distribution window, to save all of the current settings into one of the four available Presets. From then on, you just need to click the appropriate Preset button and everything will be set.
I hope this helps!
