Ok - Found a workaround.
In looking at the documentation, the Open Audio Alignment Panel is ALSO a Toolbar option. Went in to Toolbar Settings and checked (enabled) the Audio Alignment tool. Then the Audio Menu now has this option available. Did not even need to use the Toolbar to get there, but it works as well.
Another thing that is not clear to me in the documentation is before selecting the Reference or Target events they need to be Selected.
Now I’m in business.
Hope that helps anyone else with this problem. It still seems a bit odd. I found this while I was on a chat with Support and the Support tech says he’ll look into it, since this doesn’t seem like the way it should work.
