    Shouldn't you be able to exchange
    rich text easily with other RTF editors
    like Microsoft Word?

    Yes, you certainly need that facility. After all, we all like to use several tools when using Windows. Different tools do different jobs well.

    Here comes the good part. WhizFolders uses Microsoft RichEdit control. The idea is that we want you to easily exchange RTF text with Microsoft Word, Wordpad and other RTF editors.

A WhizFolder Document

The picture shows the Tutorial Document which is, a WhizFolder document itself, showing many features.

A WhizFolder document has two panes. The left pane shows the titles of the notes and the right pane shows the content of the selected note.

Since the list is hierarchial, it also represents the structure of the document. This helps you review your document faster as you look at the list first and then look at the contents as necessary by clicking on them. It also helps load a WhizFolder document very fast even if it contains thousands of notes.

You can have many such WhizFolder documents, one on each subject, keeping all the notes on that subject. Think of a WhizFolder document as a file type with the extension ".wzfolder" that you can keep anywhere and take with you on a portable disk to any other computer. Even other people who don't have WhizFolders can look at your documents with a freeware viewer available from WhizFolders web site.
WhizFolders allows you to interconnect your notes by links so that you can review them better.

Hyperlink to another note

You can insert a link in a note that goes to another related note. Such links help you later when you go to review these notes.

The top picture shows such a link to a note called "My note." It works just like the links in your Internet browser. But, in this case, you yourself can make up such links easily.

Such hyperlinks to other notes can be easily inserted by dragging a title from the note list on to a note editor. Or, you can even copy/paste a link from the list.

An Insert Wizard is also provided as shown in the second picture. There are numerous ways to enter links in WhizFolders. For more details, please see the actual right-click menus and the help file.
You can even have links to web sites, files and folders, making this a sort of Favorites or bookmark application but with Rich Text notes to help you remember why you saved a link.

Hyperlinks to web sites, files and folders

When you type a web address in the note editor, it automatically becomes a link as shown in the top picture.

By using the insert wizard shown earlier, you can even insert links in the editor that open files and folders. The files are opened in their respective programs, for example, an excel file link will open the spreadsheet in Excel. What is the advantage? You can have notes along with the links to help you.

The note list can have links too. The second picture shows some links inserted in the topic list that can open the respective folders, files or web sites.
A Rich Text Editor, quite-like Wordpad, is available with more powerful features such as tables and insert picture wizard.

Rich Text Editor

In WhizFolders, there are two kinds of editors available. The Quick Editor that operates in the document window right-pane and the advanced editor in its own editor window, supporting tabbed editor pages. The picture shows such an advanced editor.

WhizFolders editor uses the same richedit control that Windows Wordpad uses. But WhizFolders has additional richtext editing features--nested list entries, insert picture wizard and so on.

WhizFolders editor can display tables very well. If you copy and paste tables from Microsoft Word or other word processors, they are close to the original. Also, the editing of the contents within table works well.

Table tool: In the Deluxe version (and Pro edition 6.1.5 or later), for table designing, we have given a table tool that you can use if you don't have Microsoft Word. This tool works fine for designing tables except that it has certain limitations especially when modifying the design of the tables.

Searching for words

There are regular Find Text, Replace Text operations on the Search menu of a document. But, that's not what I want to show here.

In WhizFolders, you can also search all the notes in a document for many words just like in an Internet search engine. You can even specify complex conditions by separating the words with "and," "or," and "near." In this case, it will find notes containing all the given words (an "and"), one of the given words (an "or") or words quite close to each other (a "near").

This is called Advanced Search and can be peformed on a Search pane that opens from the right side as shown in the picture. The search gives a list of all the hits as shown. Moving the mouse over a hit shows the surrounding text in a balloon.

The main window of WhizFolders also allows this kind of search to be performed in all the listed WhizFolder documents.
See how you become more productive by using list-based outlining in WhizFolders.

How nice it would be if you can outline your ideas first in a list and later combine them to make a complete document.

WhizFolders is such a list-based outliner

What is Outlining? Outlining means arranging your thoughts or ideas in a particular sequence and in a hierarchy of topics and subtopics. Once you do that, working on a writing project becomes easier. Writers often make an outline of sections, chapters and subheadings first and then fill up the details later. WhizFolders makes it easy to outline the titles by drag and drop and other simple operations.

See the notes in the picture to understand what list-based outlining is all about.

WhizFolders also allows to combine this list of topics in a single big document for importing in your favorite word processor so that you can give finishing touches to it later. In other words, you will finish your writing project more quickly, if you make an outline in WhizFolders' topic list, fill up the details in rich text and then export the combined document to a word processor.

What our customers have to say


"It is by far the most valuable software I have purchased in the last two years, and I recommend it to all of my colleagues and students. It has become the center of my work. It is elegantly straightforward and powerfully flexible. It does what it intends to do without extraneous functions. I have explored other note-taking and PIM software, and I can find none better."

"What I appreciate is your focus on notes. I'm so tired of programs that start out well-composed but then think that they must add more and more features to become 'multi-purpose' and end up clogging themselves with lots of junk that most users don't need or want. Notes are at the core of what most of us do, and a program that optimizes note-taking and management will always be of great value."

Bill Kelly

"This is excellent software. I'm writing a book and I've tried EVERYTHING--... and at least three dozen other programs to help me organize my writing and this is the one program that does everything I wish the others did. You have really covered all the bases."
Nino

"I use this wonderful program to organize research notes for my academic program. I am working on a theology doctorate, and must maintain an organized database of a wide variety of research materials. This program has been an invaluable tool. The program is sophisticated and feature-rich, yet the interface is simple and does not require me to spend hours poring over a technical manual to effect the results I require."
