SQLNotes follows what MS is currently using (though I could make that configurable, like just about all other shortcuts), namely:

Enter: Create a new item
Shift-Enter: Add a carriage return, to create a new paragraph within the outline item
CTRL-Enter: Create a sub-item

note: You can also insert a TAB to simulate indenting in the item.

Details here: http://sqlnotes.wikispaces.com/Formatting

Pierre,

As another GV user I’d definitely vote for making it configurable. Then GV, Ecco, and MS-Word users would all be happy :-_

Hi,
I am new to SQLnotes and want to ask:
How do you export from SQLnotes to Microsoft Word??

On the wiki Screenshot page, it says

“In its simplest form, you can have a outliner notepad supporting rich text and exportable to HTML, Word, etc”

but I can’t find out how to do this. I can see you can export to Excel, but this is very basic and does not retain text formatting.

SQLnotes seems like a great program, but at the end of the day, it’s not so useful for creating documents if I can’t export to MS Office or other formats that I can share with other people easily. Am I missing something? Please help (I’ve tried searching the wiki but no luck), or if this doesn’t exist, can it be added in the future (this would make SQL notes SO much more useful and powerful!),
Thanks,

Hi Bill,

To export, simply select the items / sub-items and do an HTML Export. If you then use the “settings mode” you’ll be able to set a number of options. The end result will be an HTML page, which you can paste, drag-drop into, or open in MS Word.

Issue 491 was created in Mantis to support direct export to MS Word : http://mantis.sqlnotes.net/view.php?id=491

You can track this issue to see when it will be implemented
