DaXiong,

I’m sure you’ve probably already checked these programs out, but just in case you have not, it sounds as if one of these two might meet your needs:

MyInfo - Which has tagging of individual notes, which can be arranged in an outline. (http://www.milenix.com)

WhizFolders - Allows you to add keywords to your notes, which also can be arranged in an outline. (http://www.whizfolders.com)

WhizFolders has the better editor—a better writing environment. But I find it somewhat awkward to use because of the multiple windows that appear on my computer.

Another possibility to consider is The Journal (http://www.davidrm.com), which is designed for journaling, but works well for all writing projects. It has a fairly sophisticated keywording system (I think the developer calls them “topics”) which allows you to apply a topic/keyword to specific sections of text.

Just some thoughts.
