This is interesting.. I guess why not? However, even if those two issues are resolved, can you really be happy using MyInfo for outlining? Yes, resolving those issues will allow you to enter text. Besides the tree that affords outlining structure, what else do you see that lend itself to using MyInf...

Index Question

Couple of questions: Are document titles (what you see in the tree) indexed by default? If yes, are they indexed by each word in the title or by the whole string? Are built-in tree column values indexed by default? If I add a document (Insert .. Document From File) from a PDF file, in whcih case the...

Terminology Suggestions for File/Topic and State Image

In light of the discussions we had in the other forum regarding terminologies, thanks to JanRif for initiating it, I would like to enter below suggestions so they won't get lost in the shuffle. 1. In the File pull-down menu spell out " New Topic " and " Open Topic ." An alternati...

Rename Topic

Is there any downside to renaming a topic by renaming the topic's file? I don't see another way of doing it.. or am I missing it? I thought I would find a rename option in Organize Topic , but there wasn't any. If renaming the windows file is the only way to rename a topic, I think a cleaner interfa...

Thanks Petko.. I presumed too much, but I know so little. Thank you for reminding me about the three document-types; they are well explained in the Help. The selections in the state image menu, namely general (address, appointment, contact, reminder, question, idea and inernet info); work (business,...

state image

A state image is generally an icon. In some cases it can indicate a "state" - for example % of task completed - but in general it is used to indicate the "type" of a document. Before I fully understood what state images were, I've come across this term several times but it never ...

State Image Menu

How about adding a title "Select a State Image" or simply "State Images" to the state image pull-down menu? As a new user I stumbled upon this menu accidentally but I had no clue as to what it was and why it was there etc. - had to figure it out the hard-way. A title would have g...

Writeaway, So far I've copy/pasted few rtf documents and web pages that have both text and graphics without any problem. To be accurate, I should say in some cases the original formatting is not retained. For example, if the source document has graphic and text in two columns (side by side), MyInfo ...

Moreover, to create new topic in MyInfo, you have to use File->New. Not Topic->New. To open a topic, you use File->Open. The File pull-down on the tool bar is a windows relic. Many software still use it to open non-files, but thoughtfully could spell out what they are opening. So, MyInfo could say ...

I think file (for topic) and document (for document) don't go well together because documents that we typically deal with everyday such as Word documents, spreadsheets, PDF etc. are also files. This oneness is quite visual and established in the mainstream computing. When you break that common conce...

My 3.59 installation was only one day old and didn't have anything in it. I uninstalled it and installed 3.6. The installation went smoothly. Then I imported few documents from a windows folder into an existing topic (which was tiny leftover from trial version). After the import, I noticed an error ...

Updating to v3.6

Having purchased MyInfo, I downloaded and installed it yesterday. The version was 3.59. I see that the latest version is 3.6 with quite a few bug fixes. I like to update my installation to 3.6. How can I do that?

MyInfo for Family Medical Journal

Hello everyone, I am considering MyInfo for organizing my personal knowledgebase. I am familiar with this type of usage. My question is about using MyInfo for a family medical journal. I would like to maintain a "journal/record" of medical history for each member of my family - things such...
