And as a quick follow up, I'm not suggesting that ConnectedText is the best choice if you need that kind of "field" data. A real database probably is. But attributes and properties can extend the use ...

Manfred Kuhn has a few posts about how he uses attributes and properties, especially this one where he writes about trying to get CT to replicate some of the function of the old program Lotus Agenda:

I still am a bit of a novice myself, so this advice might not be what you would get from one of the pros on the Forum, but here's what I would do:

Retrospective outlining

This is an interesting topic. It relates to a feeling I've long had about outliners, namely that the ones which of restrict your outline to individual blocks of text are not really outliners at all. T...

There is an application called Writer's Blocks which may do this. The program has been around for quite some time, and had been stalled at version 3.0 for at least six or seven years. But recently, ve...
mac/ipad outliner links

The two programs Julia (the reviewer) left out that are significant outliners for Mac are Tinderbox (and its little brother Twig) and Neo. In my view Tinderbox is generally the best outliner for Mac, ...

Hi, Bill,

Hi, Bill,
I think you're referring to Growly Notes, which appears modeled after OneNote, though without a lot of the bells and whistles.
