I think it'll be very helpful eventually, though. undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-48256424142255115162012-12-05T16:04:19.512-08:002012-12-05T16:04:19.512-08:00Undine:

It's been really good for helping me get a lot of complex, non-narrative things on paper but at a certain point I still have to convert to Word to get the little things right, especially footnotes.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397299407395751211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-83583902079464737242012-12-05T09:32:53.314-08:002012-12-05T09:32:53.314-08:00naptimewriting, I am going to try the tutorial aga...naptimewriting, I am going to try the tutorial again when I have a minute, but I think it will have more meaning if I've already wrestled with the program. I have tried real index cards over the past few years but had the same problem: I could rearrange the cards but not the text. undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-66628935917815934542012-12-04T11:58:27.462-08:002012-12-04T11:58:27.462-08:00I have a similar conversion story.

I bought it for the index-card-on-corkboard thing because I,too, had been using real index cards. Since they weren't linked to anything, I could rearrange every week but still have an unwieldy document that didn't reorganize easily.<br /><br />I'm not in love yet. I know almost none of the tools despite doing the whole (holy guacamole it's long) tutorial. But the editing process is infinitely easier.<br /><br />Glad you found a new tool. Hope it furthers your text and your goals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
