I had posted a message in December (supra msg# 1217,1218) asking for advice on the best outlining software and Steve Zeoli and Steve Cohen were kind enough to answer w/ their experiences. I went ahead and purchased NoteMap and have been using it since. My thanks to both Steve's.
Now, I'd like to offer Greg of CaseSoft, who I was told monitors this forum for feedback, some suggestions after working with NoteMap for a few months doing many an outline.
Suggestions for NoteMap:
1) All Cap button to capitalize letters;
2) abiltiy for user to enter autocorrect macros as shorthand words;
3) capability to insert tables;
4) footnote/header feature to add '# page of pages;'
5) feature to view two pages on one screen in edit mode or print preview mode (like Word for Windows);
6) autocorrect spelling, spelling underlining, automatic capitalizing
7) no limit to # of levels allowed or at least increase it;
8) autosave feature;
9) zooming capability to view text so I don't have to change my font size while working and then change it back to font 12, for example when I print;
10) program macro for symbols;
11) EDIT UNDO recorder action list ----> this has by far CAUSED ME THE MOST ANGUISH, as there won't be a way to back up actions beyone one step after a slip of greater than one action - so that work is lost.
Besides problem referenced in suggestion #11, I've been very happy with NoteMap and was thrilled to be rid of using Word for outlining. Again, thanks to those on this board for the advice.
Regards,
Liz

Liz,
Sorry for the delay responding to your ideas regarding enhancements to NoteMap. Many of your suggestions were already on the to-do list for NoteMap 2, and I've added the rest. I can't guarantee we'll end up being able to implement all of them, but I do think we'll be able to do most.
NoteMap does include an Insert Symbol option on the Insert menu, but I'm pretty sure this isn't what you're after in item 10 where you request a macro for symbol insertion. Could you give me a little more detail on that request, please. Want to make sure I understand what you want.
Again, thanks for the suggestions. And thank you for the positive feedback. Please send me any and all additional ideas.
