PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Are you still looking for the ideal note taking program? WhizNotes is a
unique hypertext organizer that lets you organize your notes into folders
and allows creation of hypertext links between them with simple drag &
drop operations. It's an excellent writing & research tool, and a
free-format PIM. WhizNotes is also an easy to use Help Authoring System!
If you have the help compiler installed, just a click can turn your notes
into Windows Help files! Use WhizNotes to create your own hypertext
reference notes; to organize your tasks; to study any subject; to keep a
journal; to author a help file, or simply to reorganize your thoughts.
Runs on Windows 95, Windows NT and Windows 3.1. Also includes a
customizable right-click menu for smart template insertion.
INTRODUCTION:
Are you still looking for the ideal note-taking program? A program that
allows you to take random notes and also helps you organize the vast
amount of random information that you collect every day. A program where
you can find your notes on any subject easily, a program that allows you
to keep large bodies of text, related or unrelated, grouped into folders
of your choice. Well, look no more. You have arrived! WhizNotes can do
all that for you.
What's more, WhizNotes even lets you link your notes by hypertext
links by a simple drag and drop. The advantage of hypertext is that
you can jump from note to note by double-clicking on these links. In
WhizNotes' hypertext scheme, any note which is not already open is
opened for you and if the note is contained in another folder, even that
folder is opened for you. AND THAT IS NOT ALL! WhizNotes is also a Help
authoring system. Turn your notes into "WINDOWS hypertext help" easily
and effortlessly.
Combine this with the ability to give long names to the notes and the
folders, and you will be delighted with how much you can accomplish with
WhizNotes. Start using WhizNotes and say goodbye to your journals, logs
and diaries. No restrictions. You can enter free-format text in your
notes and search for it in free-format as well.
This demo also includes a customizable right-click menu for smart template
insertion. This not only makes it easy to code help authoring markers in
your help topics but is also useful as a general text insertion tool. An
example menu for HTML authoring is also provided.
To get a quick demo of help generation, open and compile the Sample
WZN folder SAMPLHLP.WZN. Also see "Introduction" and other introductory
topics in online help. If you don't have the help compiler, please look
at online help to see how you can download one.
