Hi everyone (and especially Dave)
This is just a note to say THANKS to Dave and Symantec for making MORE available. I'd read about it loads in past years and I'm delighted to say that it fully lives up to its glowing reputation. (Now if I can only figure out what cloning and gathering is for...!)
As a writer I've tried loads of outliners - one of my favourites was Corkboard. I loved the graphical outlining, moving 'cards' around on the board. However I could never get the text export to work properly, so switching between Corkboard and my WP (Nisus) was tricky. I would work on an outline and shift things around and then, when it was exported, all the text was in exactly the same order as when I typed it in.
I know that Corkboard transmuted into 3x5 - does anyone know if this is still around? More importantly, does anyone know if the text export worked any better?
Cheers,
Nick

Three by Five is unfortunately no longer around. I have a glowing brochure for it which I have held onto, since I never got the chance to actually use the product. Note that calling their 800 number (800-231-4055) now takes you to Final Draft (www.finaldraft.com). The rep on the phone said that some of the features of Three by Five have been absorbed into Final Draft - but not all.
