Alex, yes that’s it—Technography Template is the tool I was referring to. After reading about Technography, I think I’ll take your suggestion and look into Brainstorm or another outliner that can run from a USB drive and works with Word.

One of the neat things about NoteMap is that it will export an outline directly to Word format, keeping the outlining and numbering format that was set up in NoteMap. If I can get a tool with close to that functionality, it will be great.

Thanks for the info and link to Bernie’s site.

You could try getting NoteMap to run off a USB drive. Copy the program directory over, then try running it. If it complains about a missing DLL, copy that from the Windows or System/System32 directory on your computer where NoteMap is installed to inside the NoteMap program directory on the USB drive. Often that gets things working. (The only major hangup is sometimes that your system admin at work has locked down the registry and the program tries to write to the registry.)

If you’re looking for a more traditional single-pane outliner, you could try TKoutline (http://tkoutline.sourceforge.net/wiki/). It is a single executable file so runs fine from a USB drive. Outlines can be saved as ascii, html, and xml. And it is free.

Regrettably, despite several attempts to get Lexis-Nexis and CaseSoft to fix the NoteMap export to Word feature, it remains buggy. Instead, use the NoteMap rtf export and then use Word to open the exported rtf file.

The fact that the vendor is unwilling to make such an easy fix does not bode well for future versions.
