to go back to Wizard Mode (such as for major floor plan or zone changes), make
sure to save a copy of the project (or at least the input (.<span class=SpellE>inp</span>)
file) with a different name. After making changes in the Wizard, you can copy from
the old DD Edit input file and paste into the new one. This is not too
difficult for something like a schedule change, where all the information is in
