I've been trying to convince Fullwrite 1.1 to create a new chapter for
me -- watched the watch hands go around for 20 minutes before I finally
gave up.  I need a work-around.

The document is about 20 pages long and is all in an outline.  Outline
headlines are formatted using custom styles.  There are a few sidebars and
citations.

Not long before this bug showed up I moved several sections of the outline
around using the Show Outline command.  Several of them moved to different
chapters leaving their old chapters empty.

Attempting to create new chapters hangs (Superclock doesn't get any cpu
cycles to update the time).

I can shuffle things around using the Show Outline command so that the
proper sections are in the proper chapters, but when I leave that dialog,
the outline is scrambled (ie the first part of section 4 was between 
sections 1 and 2 while the last part of section 4 was in the proper
place -- the numbering was *not* consistent with the new structure).  On
one occasion a section that should have been numbered somthing like
5.2.1.2 was numbered something like 1244.-256.5.532!

All this is happening on a 2Meg Mac+, System 6.0.2, and a couple of inits:
Gatekeeper, Superclock, Remember?, SFInitVol, ApplicationMenus.

Anyway, anyone know of a work-around?

Thanks in advance,
