Why does TreePlan not respond (or why does TreePlan show the wrong dialog box) when I select a node and choose Decision Tree (or press the shortcut key)?

(a) TreePlan may not be able to keep track of the location of nodes (squares, circles, and triangles). It is very important to not insert or delete rows, columns, or cell ranges in the tree diagram area. If you do make such an insertion or deletion, you can undo by clicking the Undo button (a circular counterclockwise arrow) or choosing Edit > Undo.

(b) TreePlan may not be able to detect selection of a node on some computers with a specific combination of display resolution and zoom setting. A workaround is to select the cell containing the node shape instead of selecting the node shape itself. To do so, select an adjacent cell, e.g., above or below, and then use an arrow key to select the cell containing the node shape. Then choose Decision Tree (or press the shortcut key).
