From memory, I thought a two-way sync with MS Outlook could accomplish that. But probably ...
Information Archive Suggestions
9/28/2010
There was some discussion of this on the Scrivener forums a while ago. Plain text was the suggestion from people who know about these things better than I. This may not be what you want to hear!

I bet VUE is a very useful tool with potentially its own niche, I can see that it has the equivalent of agents, it's very useful that it's cross-platform and it could hardly be more financial...
I own a Tinderbox licence, but have only become aware of VUE in recent weeks and have just had another look at its website.
I would say that both applications are similar to the extent that both dea...
Any Word on ndxCards?
9/26/2010
I've no privileged information, but the signs - last update almost three years ago, copyright dating two years old - aren't good.
If development is dead, I think that would be a pity. I still have a ...
Well to quote Joe E. Brown at the end of Some Like It Hot, "Nobody's perfect", and neither are Mac programmes - or to put it another way, the true Crimper's work is never done. But I agree with Steve ...
DevonThink alternative?
8/25/2010
Thanks for those two links, Alexander.
Curiously the single piece of pure desktop text-analysis software that I'd previously heard of, Textanz, isn't mentioned in the list on the second link. Texta...
A Mac & Daly follow up.

There's been a lot on this forum recently about applications such as Scrivener, Curio and DevonThink Pro which I use regularly, so I won't dwell on those.
Here are three that have been mentioned less...
Twig, a couple months later
8/12/2010
So am I. The key questions for me are: "What is it really for?" and (relatedly) "Once you've created an outline in it, how can you get it usefully out and into another application, without re-typing a...
DevonThink Not Opening Data Base
8/10/2010
There's been quite a lot of discussion on the DevonThink forums about when it's better to use the tags approach and when it's better to use a group/folder hierarchy. None of the discussions has resolv...
Profound Disappointment
8/10/2010
Daly
Some immediate random thoughts:
- it helps to have a strong reason for switching, and a goal. I use my Mac for writing, as I previously used Word on the PC. That was until, first, I lost a lot ...
DevonThink Not Opening Data Base
8/10/2010
I don't know why your database won't open, Daly, but I firmly believe you will find that the developers are responsive and will give helpful support. The only small rider to that may be if they are on...
You can set a citations manager such as EndNote or Sente in the Preferences, use a hotkey to launch it and then paste citations into your project.
Sorry Steve! Repeating your words; it sounds like our experiences of this software are very similar.
Open Office (and Neo Office): regarded as somewhat clunky I think, but the price is incomparable and many folk use one or other as their main WP.
I use an earlier version of Word for the Mac to polish Scrivener documents. It's a sluggard to load, resource-intensive to use, not very Mac-ish to handle and not very "pretty", but when dealing with ...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/9/2010
Steve
Yes, I thought about MacJournal as I typed the list! You're right, it should be included; it's an excellent Mac citizen that "does what it says on the tin". Version 3.0 has been around for a li...
I don't know Daly, but I would re-iterate what I think Steve Z. wrote elsewhere, which is that Mori was regarded as very good several years ago, but the original developer then sold it on and little h...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/9/2010
Daly,
For internal linking in a "notebook", VoodooPad is the Mac market-leader: http://flyingmeat.com/voodoopad/
To respond to your more general point about Mac software. As with any platform there ...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/8/2010
I think Steve Z, has more experience of NoteBook than I have, but I did trial both applications early on in my Mac experience.
The reason I abandoned them was because I decided I didn't need them. Wi...
Tao a Joke?
8/7/2010
I have not had this issue with TAO, but it's difficult to diagnose long-distance.
More generally, I don't think TAO is a joke. Its user interface is definitely complex (unnecessarily so in my view),...
I should have added that Omni Group isn't a one-man or two-man band, but somewhat bigger. But it's evidently still subject to resource-constraints that prevent it from racing ahead with developing for...
Daly
I think you have gone back to the Mac at perhaps not the most opportune moment.
You may know this already, but the Mac developer community probably has for the size of the market a disproporti...
