I use a dual-monitor setup (20" and 23") on my workplace: On the higher-res monitor (1600x1200px) I run the application I am working in - LibreOffice, Word, Scrivener (depends on the job to be done), ...

Hi.
I am ambivalent about PhraseExpress. It is very powerful - almost too powerful for my needs.
I recommend to take a look at some of the documentation videos - I misunderstood a few things in the ...

If I were you, I'd backup my Notemap files regularly. One of the members in this forum says he lost a considerable amount of text due to Notemap.
