I have lurked on this site for over a year, finding the contributions very interesting. I have now progressed to registering and asking for some advice.

Can I ask Graham whether, now that 6 months have passed, he has actually used Think Composer?

I am going to give it a try since I need a method of illustration to others (individuals, not classes) of how various EU Regulations and their national implementations and their guidance actually work and interlink. Some of these can amount to at least 50,000 pages of text on some topics such as the controls on Pharmaceuticals.
I do not need to concern myself with detail such as the chemistry, only with the way that compliance can be sought at the simple level such as ‘herbal extract - do this’ and ‘industrially produced - do that’.

As you may gather I am attempting to produce a straightforward illustration of the main principles and link to the detail. Most software only allows for a level of abstraction without such detail as the penalty for certain offences.
Currently I keep all the originals as PDFs under various categories on my PC.

The text of the passages relevant to the individuals are extracted to Connected Text which I adopted after trying Zotero, Ultra Recall, etc etc . . .after reading Dr Andus’s contributions on this site and his own very comprehensive site.

At first glance at their site Think Composer looks promising, unless anybody knows different.

Thank you
