Topic: Export to a CV File

Regarding the "classic .HEAD" format, a web search does not confirm that this is a generic format. In fact it rather looks to me like a format specific to More and maybe a few other products. My offhand guess is that anoher Mac outliner, Acta, is the other, but this is pure speculation. Wh...

Export to a CV File

It seems to me every pim should provide for export of a plain text version of a topic (to use the myinfo3 term) to a cv file. And to import such a file. Then if the user decides to change pims, he will only lose formatting, and won't have to copy it document per document.

Re: a way to insert tables...

There's an issue with inserting large embedded OLE objects in MyInfo 2.6 and in all the non-MS programs which have this feature, with the possible exception of the latest version of ActionOutline, which seems to have somehow solved it. The problem is that the container is limited in size to a single...

Irritating Policies

A know I'm not the only one who purchased version 2 for the sole reason that it allows access to the version 3 beta. Since previous editions of the beta have been made available to users, it frankly seems a little bit anal to impose this delay in allowing us to access the latest version of the progr...

Multi-page editor

I find only a single _vital_ function missing from myinfo--the ability to view two or more text pages at the same time. It is vital because part of organizing is comparing different topics.
