Column 1 = short titles, column 2 = formatted texts, NO word wrap - since you wouldn’t want to do more scrolling than absolutely necessary.

And Excel has got an outliner function, i.e. you could normally hide normally-unwanted sub-trees within that “list”.

Hi,

InfoQube can easily do this. You can re-use / show / hide blocks of items and easily export with formatting to Word or any app supporting HTML. Content can be in the outline and / or in the rich-text doc pane. Export combines these using a set of export options.

To select what blocks are included in a given document, IQ has 2 features to help you, both work well: (1) column/field filtering or (2) multiple parents.

I currently pay hundreds of dollars a month in software subscriptions for my business, so not just looking for freebies. But I am thinking small-business level rather than enterprise level. :)

I did look at Jot+ but it doesn’t handle images according to the site. I am not a programmer so I don’t do a lot of scripting, but I am ok at excel. I think I am also looking for a simple solution for my students as well. The proposal software idea is a good one and I did purchase one to try, but looking for something simpler for my students.
