>Notemap might be less clunky, but Inspiration has never erased any of my work, Notemap has.

Agreed, Cassius. For example I found that joining two Notemap subheadings together, each with its own attached comment, deleted the comment from one of them - i.e, the program seemed to have no way of automatically merging them. I think your problem of disappearing text was another bug, too.

I don’t know quite why Inspiration (including v9, to which I couldn’t resist upgrading from v7.5) gives an impression of “clunkiness”. I think it’s two-fold: (i) it’s hard on my 1024x768 LCD screen to get a display that doesn’t appear rough and somehow amateurish, despite my various tinkerings with font type, size, etc.; and (ii) some of the keyboard shortcuts are needlessly arcane, making it somewhat awkward to use - but nowhere near as awkward as Maxthink for Windows. Notemap, OTOH, displays excellently on my setup.

If one can resist the shallow preoccupation with how it looks, however, Inspiration is a good outliner.

Derek, have you tried using the “mountain views” in the lower left corner of the screen to enlarge or reduce (zoom in or out) the font size?
