According to the information displayed during the install, the version is 2.10.12.2.
The NoteMap.exe file’s version is 2.10.12 You are right though. The web update indicates that build 11 is the latest version. The web update fails on two computers I tried, so I downloaded the version on the web site.

Jon:
Thank you very much. I just downloaded it and it installed just fine. It is very frustrating that the web update doesn’t work and they don’t tell you when they update the program.
Sure would be nice if we knew what they changed (or fixed).
I appreciate your help.

Again, please take my experience seriously. With NoteMap, if you put too much text in a single outline item bad things can happen…like losing what you have just written. That’s why I stopped using it.

I agree with Cassius.
I’m not prepared to risk any big reports with Notemap. Apart from the data issue mentioned by Cassius, the send to Word feature is also buggy. See http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/224 for details.
Unfortunately development on Notemap ceased long ago. There is lot of material about this in the archives, including input from the developer in 2005. http://www.outlinersoftware.com/archives/viewt/4172
It’s a pity as Notemap was the market leader at the time with an excellent feature-set (albeit with some bugs).

Cassius:
I really appreciate your input. Have you tired 2.10.12? I have no idea whether it fixes the problem but I’d be interested.
Frankly, I don’t enter large amounts of information into a particular item. I treat each item at the “bottom” level as a paragraph (giving me the opportunity to move them around). I’ve built some software that then takes the indented structure and figures out “headers” (H1, H2, body text, etc.) and gives me a Word starting point.
It would be nice if LexusNexus gave this the attention it deserves. It is clear it is written in Delphi and if they aren’t that interested in it it would be terrific if they would release it to the open source community. It is a really nice implementation (should the bugs that you have discovered be fixed). We could turn it into something over the top in productivity and creativity.
Oh well…...
