Well, we all find our own solutions to these problems, and I’m glad you’ve discovered something that works well for you. On the other hand, I use MyInfo every day for creating scholarly articles and books; I suppose it just fits my way of working.

I should add that I’m pleased with version 6: it brings us at last a couple of features that have been much requested on the MyInfo forum—hoisting and the ability to have several notes open on the screen simultaneously.
