I strongly agree which what you have written. The tree and the search function were top-notch, and extremely useful. It’s sort of a “life-changing” software for the disorganized person. Version 3, running on Windows 95, did the job, for those two functions worked perfectly. I am now trialing Version 10, and in my opinion, it is a mess. The calendar and address book are both untenable, and the whole programme is a little bit unstable. The editor is sufficient for my needs, using keyboard commands for the most part.

[[BTW: when I paste Open Office documents into a note, I get “”“”“Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000168 EndHTML:0000002356 StartFragment:0000000630 EndFragment:0000002339 “”“” or whatever numbers, at the beginning of whatever I paste. However, only OpenOffice has that problem, so it is an incompatibility between the two programmes. ]]

Tonight, I will download and trial the 30-day version of IS 2007 (IS 9.) http://www.miclog.com/is/2007/down.htm
