Just to say that I wandered over to Bits, thanks Daly, and though Topicscape isn't for me, I've been impressed enough by TextAloud, Text-to-Speech software, to get out the credit card - with the disco...

Thanks for the link, jimspoon.
Must be a case of the mid-January blues. I crimp, therefore I am - but Noah's pitch doesn't hook me.
A couple of points explaining why I'm not going to download Noah...
Oh yes - members only. But the membership fee is whatever you want it to be. And DonationCoder is pretty much perfect for Crimpers. Complements OutlinerSoftware.

Bonsai

I'm a great fan of Bonsai. I use it to run my GTD lists on both my palm pda and my pc.
I followed the advice of this Bonsai guru:

Single-pan Outliner for Writers

Cassius, Bob fyi
Strange, a) Notemap's export to word function works fine for me. And b) I don't see any option allowing me to send from Notemap as RTF. I click; it opens in Word as a doc file.

I used Filenotes to manage a variety of file formats, add notes to them: http://www.filenotes.com/fno_iicle_review . Overkill for my purposes, but others may find it useful.

I use Acrobat Pro too - but only when it's too much trouble to convert to html. If I hadn't paid for the license, I'd probably switch to FoxitReader and possibly PDF would be a breeze then. As it is, ...

Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?

My big mistake. Gina's instructions are for a Windows XP computer... I just presumed it would be cross platform.

Why not set up a locally hosted personal wiki using Mediawiki, the open source application behind Wikipedia? Gina Trapani's instructions at Lifehacker worked fine for me: http://lifehacker.com/softwa...

Graham, thanks.
Earlier on in the year, I was pretty excited by ideaMason as the place in which I could do all my writing. But I found that it just wasn't fast enough. Waiting four, five seconds for...
