BEFORE YOU GO ON ---------------- You can get the latest version from Compuserve Windows Forum or send me a cheque equivalent to US$7 and your contact address, so that I can mail you the latest version as soon as possible. You should explore the Word in Context/Keyword system of data management. Under the Page menu, use the Page Keywords to look at the example keywords. Read the Write document manual.wri if you have problems. It is only 8 short pages. Converting from earlier versions to 1.3 and beyond -------------------------------------------------- To use the advanced features of generating a report for printing, photocopying of notes based on keywords, you have to end each note with a End Note Marker. This is done by pressing F2 on activating End Note under the Edit menu. This operation draws a line to mark the end of the note. Otherwise Organize! do not know where a note ends. You should read file whatsnew.txt to find out the new features in version 1.6 WHAT IS ORGANIZE! ----------------- Organize! looks and feels exactly like a diary, making it one of the easiest to use software ever. No matter how disorganized you are, Organize! can organize it all for you and without sticking to a system that all PIMs impose on their customers and there is no need to plough through thick manuals. Because of its innovative design, you add functions as you need them. There are no unnecessary functions to clutter your way, steepening the learning curve unnecessarily. Organize! can flip pages like the real thing with binders that click open to insert pages. But most important, it uses a Word in Context system to manage random and structured personal information that you enter into the diary. With this system you will never loose your way again in a software. IMPORTANT NOTE -------------- This document supercedes all documentation of earlier versions of Organize!.
