This made me yesterday to try the software.

And because you, Marbux, wrote:

I decided to ask you a perhaps silly question:

Is Notecase Pro (not) able to retain the formatting when coyping and pasting a text from an ordinary MS Word .doc? (It’s an old version of Word: Word 2002.)

This is always the first action which I try when testing an outliner; and when such a software fails (or works in a complicated way) concerning this simple and fundamental action I usually do not even continue the test.

Many (not all) of the outliners succeed in doing the pasting more or less completely correct. Some have certain problems, e.g. with the correct line space or with tables etc.

But Notecase Pro was one of a few programs that retained (at least in my test) almost nothing of the original formatting. In the meantime I have uninstalled it again so that I cannot show you a screenshot. But for example tables were ignored completely (that means: they were not existing at all after pasting); or for some unknown reason the different color I have for certain sentences in the original document was adopted in Notecase Pro only for a part of such a sentence: after some letters (where the color was correct) all the following ones had the default color (black).

There was so much wrong (concerning formatting) that I would like to ask you - as an expert for this software - because of pure intereset: Did I make some mistake when copying and pasting (but which could it be?) or is Notecase Pro not fully compatible with MS Word?
