Kudos for WritingOutliner Word Add-in
3/11/2011
Edwin,
Any chance that you will add the ability to create a copy of a branch of an outline?

In a previous thread, I mentioned that I tried the WritingOutliner Word Add-in but could not get it to work: http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/2364.

I just ran into this 2-pane outliner and am giving it a try. Anybody else tried it before?
Here is the description:

I lost my Kindle last week. Left it on a plane :(
Of course, the upside is that I get to go shopping for new e-readers! I'm wondering if anyone here has experience and suggestions about whether I ...
Citavi in everyday use
1/24/2011
To the extent that categories are analogous to tags, Evernote does exactly what Citavi does, if I'm understanding it right:
- tags on the leftmost pane
- a list of individual items belonging to the s...
Downloaded and tried. Cannot get it to run. Crashes with "CoOutliner4Word error: the add-in has fired an exception. Unspecified error."
Franz, your comments and Edwin's make me think that I need to use WO for my next project. If it really is a "clone" of Scrivener, but it also includes Word, then to me that means it's miles ahead of ...
I started a new, substantial writing project this week, and decided to try the first draft in Scrivener for Windows.
Before this, I never understood what the advantage of Scrivener was over MS Word f...
Evernote 4

This is one of the key features of EN: the ability to show all notes with a particular set of tags. I'm surprised you haven't used it before.
The way I usually do it is by clicking multiple tags in ...

Oops - I realized 3 more things I use EN for:
5. storing reference information (medical records, bill payments, license plate numbers, etc) - either in text or in attached files
6. capturing emails t...
Evernote 4
11/16/2010
I use EN 4 - it's the primary software application in my workflow.
I think the issues raised in Daly's email are mostly questions of taste. What fits with one person's workflow might not fit with an...

What's wrong with Windows?

Cassius,
I do a similar thing on my personal computer, which runs Panda Antivirus. Panda is cool: fast and free - I recommend it. But like all antivirus, it slows things down.
The bizarre thing ab...
What's wrong with Windows?

One big difference between most Windows machines and most non-Windows machines: virus checkers. Most people have a virus scan running in the background all the time on Windows, but not on other OS's....
Structured Document Editors?

Just wanted to add some praise for Sense and the developer Dave Ewin.
After seeing this thread, I downloaded Sense. I ran into a pretty esoteric problem involving my practice of logging in to my lap...
How to digitalize data?

I used to be a big fan of my "Infoscan" handheld scanner. It's like a big highlighter that you use to scan in individual lines of text. It does OCR on the fly and shows you the results on a little L...

Used to be a software developer. Now a lawyer.
