Thanks much Steve & Dr. Andus.
My conclusions:
1. I’d better go ahead with CT, as it sounds just too capable not to give it an honest try.
2. I think l need to try combinations of apps, Dr. Andus style, until I find a system that works well for me, rather than seeking one great app that does it all.
3. I’ll be checking in here (as well as at your own sites, Doc and Steve) regularly. Great forum here with many years of combined experience represented, and very helpful and sharing people. Any other resources/sites you can particularly recommend?

You’re welcome, thanks for your kind words.
If you’re serious about CT, I strongly recommend registering with the CT forum, as there are much more advanced users on there than I am.
Forgot to mention that CT v.6 (that is hopefully coming out soon) will let you view multiple snippets (as floating windows) on the screen, from where you can copy and paste to consolidate them in another edit window.
Also, within a CT topic, once you’ve added headings (or imported them from Word), a new feature should allow you to use CTRL+arrow to rearrange them from within the TOC pane.

Thanks, those upcoming features definitely seal the deal on going with CT, at least to start off my project. Seems like he’s really working to put together the best of all worlds.

It is not my intention to lower CT’s class and power again.
Just let me say that
“you have longer documents that you want to split into shorter snippets. If that is the case, you can do that very easily with CT. Dump the text into one topic (what CT calls a single document), then there is a command that will take selected text, cut it from the current topic, create a new topic, leaving behind a wiki link in the original topic. With this process you can cut a long topic into many small ones very quickly.”
is exactly the functionality you can very easily bring into ANY outliner, by very simple macros (I do it this way in UR, more than easy), when on the other hand, some functionality is missing in many outliners (wysiwyg in CT) that even with elaborate macros, no user could ever put into his outliner.
So perhaps a kind request to developers in general: Concentrate on that part of development we users cannot add up to your software, on our own!
