Those who liked Notebox Disorganizer ( http://www.geocities.com/goosnargh37/ ) might be interested to try out a work combination with Brainstorm, resulting in a powerful 3-dimensional organising system.

A whole Brainstorm model can be written to the clipboard with tabs and pasted into a single cell of a Notebox file. Tabs marking levels are maintained, which means that the cell contents can be re-imported to Brainstorm for hierarchical editing.

Thus, one can have a table of notes where each cell can be opened in Brainstorm as a hierarchical model, effectively adding an extra dimension to the table view.

Given that tab-indented text notes can be imported to most mind mappers and a few outliners as well, this combination is not limited to Brainstorm models, though I personally prefer its text paradigm.

I am now thinking of creating a couple of macros to quickly switch from Notebox “overview” to Brainstorm “detail” and vice versa.
