Couple of questions (newbie here) about CT. I want to build a “thought base”, collecting, classing and massaging thoughts from many past files of mine. This will involve hundreds if not thousands of text items. Best I can tell, CT requires a unique name for each topic. While I can probably fit most of these items under 30 or so categories, coming up with a unique title for each item seems out of reach. Any way around this requirement? I have the trial version, haven’t decided yet whether to buy.
Second question is a tech help question. I’ve created an outline, but now I cannot close it. I get a pop up saying “outline is modified, do you want to save it?” I say yes and nothing happens. I wonder if it’s because I have not named the outline, which I do not see how to do.
I’d also like to solicit recommendations here if anyone can suggest a more ideal software for my thought base project than CT. I do need outliner capability because that is how I think and write.
