Surfulater
10/15/2007
Personally, I use MyBase/WebCollect, but for those who use, or might wish to consider, Surfulater < http://www.surfulater.com/ >, it apparently just had an update. See it at http://blog.surfulater.co...

Just remember that the export to Word (.doc) has some problems, but export to .rtf works fine and the .rtf files can then be opened in Word.
Don't expect any updates.

Natura Bansai Outliner

Am I missing something?
Aren't there a number of 2-pane PIMs that have optional columns? Having looked at the Bonsai and ListPro Web sites, these PIMs seem to me to be the same as a 2-pane PIM with ...
Thesauri & The Brain

I just discovered the "Visual Thesaurus," which definitely appears to be an application of "The Brain." See http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ .

Willaq said that maybe Word isn't so bad after all. Well, when I was forced to abandon GrandView as a composition/writing tool, I did migrate to Word...at least most of the time. (I created a specia...

Word template outliner?
9/10/2007
Word, of course, has a built-in outliner of sorts. I don't recall a pay-for add-in, but there was a free item. Problem was that every time MS changed the Word macro language, the free add-in would n...
