Randall,
I have a similar project in mind, though the number of slides is in the hundreds, not thousands. I have been looking for a low-cost slide scanning solution, but have not found one. I would b...

I think I am being dense here, but can you define smart pasting and smart dragging? Thanks.

Corel Wordperfect Lightning
11/4/2007
There was a discussion of this a few months back, I believe. I installed it on my computer at the office and ran it a few times. Its strong point, if I recall, is its editor, which is to be expected, ...

First of all, I will acknowledge that any software that works for you is good software. So my objections to Whizfolders are strictly about my own relationship to the application and not a general crit...

Simplify, simplify

I greatly enjoy our discussions of the fine points of outliners/PIMs/wikis, but sometimes I ask myself if I'm overthinking the whole subject.
I suspect that were any of us forced to live with even th...
ConnectedText versus Ndxcards
10/22/2007
Having dabbled with various wiki-style PIMS (the concept of which I like, but have yet to get over the hurdle of adapting to all the conventions required to use them effectively), it seems to me that ...
Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?

Take a look at Zulu Pad:

I don't know much about it, but it does claim to run on both Windows and Mac and from a thumbdrive.

ConnectedText versus Ndxcards
10/18/2007
I read Manfred's article and can definitely recommend it.
A question that always crops up for me is this: Is it better to jumble all your notes into one big database, or is it better to set up a sepa...

Daly,
Where does one access the ndxCards forum? I couldn't find it on their web site. Perhaps I am blind. Thanks.

I work for a small, nonprofit publisher. We prefer to receive manuscripts in either RTF, plain text, or Word files. We then put them into Word to go through the copy editing phase. We discourage autho...

Thank you for your response. Also, I enjoyed reading your extensive essay about note-taking and Connected Text on the CT web site. Thanks, again.

Thanks for the heads up on this Graham. LSB is an interesting program. The developer has to be the most ambitious and active programmer out there. He's continually "improving" the program. I put impro...
