GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ClipShop will not allow you to overwrite existing files without asking, and it has another similar feature for users of Teacher's Choice Children's Programs that needs to be explained.
Some Teacher's Choice Lesson plans use Bilingual Support which is not provided in this version of ClipShop. If the .DAT or .NAM file that you wish to modify may be linked to a BILINGUAL support library from Teacher's Choice Productions, ClipShop will not allow editting, since these files need to be synchronized. ClipShop is not guaranteed to prevent editting from occurring, but reasonable steps have been taken to catch these bilingual files and screen them out of ClipShop. You can still load the .DAT and .NAM file and paste them onto the clipboard and into new libraries, just not edit them.
ClipShop will tell you when a Bilingual Support file is suspected. You can Work on a copy if you want to modify files when this happens, but it is best not to overwrite or change the original since the program that uses the bilingual file may not work correctly. The bottom line is that ClipShop was never designed to edit these safely without affecting the related files.
