I recently installed Power InRoads V8i (SS4) 08.11.09.904 and began using.
The text editor preference I use is the Word Processor style.
Upon calling for the editor the 2nd, 3rd, and subsequent times in a session, the Word Processor appears in it's original size and location, although I have re-sized and moved it from it's original position every use. My issue is that I must reposition the dialog and open it up much larger (it's pretty small) every time. The previous PIR version and MicroStation typically do not behave that way, they behave in the MRU fashion.
What can I do to change this? Are old workspace preferences / .xml files in use and maybe non-compatible? I don't want to whack my prefs unless I really need to do it.

Can you back up your current preferences then whack them and try it?

I deleted the Arlington*.* files, and they were re-created. All is well. Thanks!
