Well, the *story* is completed in SNC (this is the exciting part!). What I need then is to write down things for the reader (the novel) with style, more details, etc (this is the hard part). Here I use MS Word, and I only refer *visually* to SNC and Treepad, there is no actual data transferred (even with the clipboard).

SNC is not made to hold long texts. Treepad (and other common outliners) is more fit to organize all those big text chunks. Anyway, I tend to use MS Word to write and then copy/paste to Treepad to organize and links nodes together.

FYI, I’ve written a small tool for myself (the advantage of being a software developer) to gather all chapter Word files in one big doc file (something like DocBuilder, see http://www.wordaddin.com/). It’s also a common launcher/renamer/organizer for all my Word files. My tool could read the SNC XML file to show the card content, so that each chapter (doc file) would be linked to its summary (the card).

As you see, in my case, there is no “One for all” outliner. What’s missing in the picture is a way to link SNC nodes to Treepad nodes and vice versa. Some kind of inter-application sync (DDE or OLE) to show up a given linked node from one application to the other.

Sebastien
