Merge Button Not Working Correctly
Just to let you know, Downloaded the new version, and when I click on the Merge button, it opens the same window as the Open button does. It does not open to the correct screen. I reinstalled, and it does the same thing. I am using Windows 8. Everything else seems to be working so far. Thanks, John
