Release Notes Just Posted:

Version 2.5

New features:

* Tools for bulk deletion: From the Data Menu, choose Delete Multiple Keywords, Delete Multiple Text Ads, or Delete Multiple Campaign Negatives.
* Contextual help text: Point your mouse at a toolbar button to see a description and the keyboard shortcut.
* Zoom control: Enlarge the text in the data view using the zoom control.
* Export to HTML: From the File Menu, select 'Export to HTML.'
* More keyboard shortcuts: Use keystrokes to navigate between tabs. Ctrl+1 for Keywords, Ctrl+2 for Text Ads, etc.
* Easier navigation: Double-click on items in the data view to navigate through your account.
* Display account description: View your account description, company name, or login email address in the Open Account dialog.
* Destination URL updates: AdWords Editor automatically adds http:// to your Destination URL if you don't manually enter it.
* Faster edits: In previous versions of AdWords Editor, posting certain types of edits (for example, changing the match type of many keywords in an Ad Group) proceeded very slowly. This is now improved, so these edits should now post much more quickly.

Updated features:

* Replace Text link on Keywords and Negative Keywords tabs: This feature was previously available only through the Edit Menu and the Text Ads tab.
* Keyword Grouper: Manually edit the list of words to group by. Automatically generate the list of terms and make changes, or enter the words from scratch.
* Content bids: Add or edit content bids in the Add/Update Multiple Ad Groups tool.

Ya, I upgraded yesterday. Seems to be a little smoother than the last one. They still haven't added the "Today" stats option.

No improvement on the "Either the account you are trying to access does not exist, or you do not have permission to modify this account" error.

I've never been able to use AdWords Editor.

Anyone know of a fix to this problem?

Yes, It still has a lot of bugs that I don't know why Google is not calling it Beta anymore.

I never got this specific error, my advise is to get a screenshot of this Error message, if possible showing the about box (showing that you are using v2.5) and contact support.

For those who may have gotten the error I described above, here's the issue/fix:

"You may be having difficulty signing in to your AdWords Editor if your AdSense account uses the same login email address as your AdWords account.

In order to gain access to your AdWords Editor, please create a new login for your AdWords account that isn't associated with any other Adwords or AdSense account. Then, try to log into AdWords Editor again using the new login email address.

To create a new login for your AdWords account:

1. Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.
2. Click the 'My Account' tab and then 'Access.'
3. Click the 'Invite other users' link.
4. Enter the new email address you'd like to invite in the appropriate boxes, and click 'Continue.'
5. Enter your name and a personal message about the nature of the email in the fields. Click 'Preview the invitation' to see the outgoing message we've created with your personalized content. Click 'Continue.'
6. Make sure the email addresses and message is correct, and click 'Send Invitations' when you're ready. "

I followed these instructions and am now a happy AdWords Editor 2.5 user.
