After checking the main MyInfo page, I realize the developer has not yet publicly
announced the new release, so for the moment it is limited to those of us who have
already have a license. I imagine the official public announcement will be made soon.
Meanwhile, here is what the developer says about this new feature:
Link to
paragraphs
Again, one of the top requests on our feedback page. MyInfo 4 is excellent
at creating links to topics and documents, but many people wanted to be able to link to
exact place in the document, especially when they have many long text documents
inside MyInfo.
Now in MyInfo 5, this is easy like the other Copy Hyperlink commands.
Just click on the exact spot where you want to link to and select Edit > Copy Link > Copy
Link To This Paragraph. This will create an anchor in the text and copy the link to the
Clipboard. Now, you can link to this spot of your document from any Windows
application that supports hyperlinks.
Stephen,
Thank you for your reply.
It would appear that my pilgrimage in pursuit of the perfect info-manager is quite similar to yours.
As with you (if I recall correctly), my search for the holy grail seems to have come to its conclusion when I pitted David (MyInfo) against the lumbering behemoth, OneNote. But unlike the Biblical narrative, in this case, David's 5 stones did not fell the monster.
The difference, however, in your path in this conquest and my own was that I took a far simpler view than you seem to have. For example ...
MyInfo has outstanding tag support & awesome filtering;And so (hope, hope), it appears that, at least for now, I have reached trails end. I walk in peace with behemoth.
But a Tree-based interface simply does not compete with the Sharp, five-level organizational layers offered by OneNote (Multi-Notebooks, Sections, Pages, Plus 2 Subdivisions). {Too bad though that its exporting options are horrible.)
And finally, hyperlinking in both of these august products now resolve to paragraph.
