In Vista, using 2008-6c or Beta 875, I follow this menu progression:

VIEW > LAYOUT > EDIT

I then click the ADD TO LIST button and type in a name for the layout and press the ENTER key.

In Vista, the name I typed into the edit box disappears.

In XP, the name is properly created.

If I manually click on the OK button, the entry is saved.

If I enter the name and press the TAB key, the OK button becomes the focus and I can press the ENTER key there, and the name will save.

So basically, I would think that in Vista, when you type in the name for the layout and press the ENTER key, that name should still be there and retain focus / selected state.

Not sure if this is all wrapped up in that "Vista selects the entire line, XP doesn't" situation, but I thought I'd mention that as well.

Thank you.

I had Vista 32 Ultimate and I was NOT able to create a layout. I switched to Vista 64 Ultimate recently with a fresh install - a forum message indicate a fresh install might correct the issue, did not have a chance to do it until refresh my PC - I am still having the problem.

I can now create layout after reading your post. Thank you for the work around!!!

Yes, after entering the name, I pressed the "Enter" key and the layout name would disappear from the list box.

I love this layout feature but since I switched to Vista, I was not able to use it. It would be sweet if it can be fixed in the software.

Glad it helped out. That's what's great about message boards such as this. We can assist each other and provide information that may be useful.

Enjoy
