Alternative to Word Mac Notebook Layout?

[matthewdtierney]

Hi there,

I've been a pretty regular journal/diary writer for the best part of 7
years, and increasingly I've found I write entries on my laptop,
rather than on paper. This is usually just a case of opening text edit
and free-writing whatever comes to mind, but I've found this ends up
in a clutter of files all over my hard drive. I wish i could open them
all at once and flick through them as you would a bunch of photos in
Preview.

So today i had the bright idea of compiling all my journal files into
one large file, and then i found the Notebook Layout in Word MAc,
which is great.

However i find the navigation of the different entries rather
cumbersome. I have around 20 different sections to my one Notebook
file at present, and its very inefficient to be clicking up and down
on those arrows to find certain entries. It would be great if i had a
pull-down menu, or could flick through each Section a lot more easier.

I guess the big question is are there alternatives out there to the
Word Mac Notebook layout, or, with regard to browsing sections, are
them some secret organizational shortcuts I'm not seeing?

I'm not one who really uses the Notebook feature much, but since you don't
mention them I'm assuming you aren't familiar with Note Flags. I don't know
that they are the complete solution for you but you may want to check out
Notebook View & its features in Word Help.

OK, i've just found NoteBook and NoteTaker, trying the demo's of both
now. Pretty much exactly what i want.
