WillNotes is a simple Post-It style application with a lot of good sense.  The pad itself holds up to as many notes as you need, simply click on the add button to add a note to the end of the pad.  Use the up and down arrows to scroll through your notes.  Remember to add at least one note to the pad if you intend to save and to hit the up or down arrow.  the way this works is that WillNotes commits the note to memory only if you scroll to another note (otherwise it is on the screen right, why bother to remember it?).  You must save in order to allow you notes to be used in another session.

A handy feature is TackUp.  This launches a stand alone executable (tackup.exe) to be a small note in the corner.  TackUp has no disk saving ability of its own and is intended solely as a supplement to WillNotes.

Right clicking on the title bar allows you to change the title of WillNotes to reflect the content of your note.  As long as you follow the suggestions above, the new title will be saved with the body of the note.


TackUp
The TackUp Feature

The TackUp works through the clipboard to give you a quick representation of a note that can be easily placed on the screen.  You can edit and type directly into this note, but there is no provision for saving it.  You can also select a custom color by right clicking on the bottom of the note.  To remove the note from the screen left click on the upturned corner.


The Edit Menu
The Edit Menu Commands

The Edit Menu allows you access to the standard cut, copy, paste, delete, and undo functions that you are used to, as well as two others.

Insert Date

This puts the current date at the cursor location, a very handy feature for people who can never seem to remember what day it is.

Insert Time

This puts the current system time into the note, at the location of the cursor.


The File Menu
The File Menu Commands

The file menu contains all of the standard commands for file access.  Please remember to save your files if you intend to ever use them again.  If you forget there is no way to correct the problem.


The View Menu
The View Menu Commands

The view menu controls the user interface of WillNotes through the following commands:

ToolBar

This toggles the ToolBar either on or off.

Status Bar

This toggles the status line at the bottom of the program on or off.

Add Page

WillNotes acts as a multipage pad with the number of pages configurable by the user. Initially the pad is only one page, the root page.  In order to have more than one note in a file you must add a new page, either with the menu command or the ToolBar button.  Currently the number of pages is limited to a theoretical maximum of 32,000.  I don't think anyone will need that many.

Remove Page

This removes the current page from the pad and moves back one page as a result.  You cannot delete the first (root) page.

Increment

This moves forward in the pad one page.  If there are no further pages, the command is dimmed.

Decrement

This moves backward in the pad one page.  If there are no prior pages, the command is dimmed.

TackUp

This implements the TackUp command.
