Did you ever find an answer to this problem? I am experiencing the exact same thing.
Having a problem with this software. Had to remove and reinstall program for file asociation problem. Now, when it is reinstalled and I try to open it, error message "failed to create empty document" appears, program will not open. Have tried company tech help but all they do is try to sell me a new version. Can anyone help. Thanks
