I am looking for an off the shelf software tool that allows 1) to store
snippets of text, 2) manually index them by topic (category), 3) easily add a
category or subcategory, 4) to regenerate a multilevel hierarchy categories
(as MS Word does), 5) do fast search both of the hierarchy of topics and the
full content, and 6) facility to move contents from MS Word doc to this new
tool. If there is more that one such tool I'd like to know about several of
them.
Besides references to software products I would appreciate any references
about research on this kind of tools. Some people call them “snippet
manager", other relevant terms are “content managementâ€, "personal
knowledgeâ€, “ontology engineeringâ€.
So far I have been using MS Word and its table of contents feature. But of
cause Word is not designed for my task. Besides as my file kept growing it
exceeded Word capabilities – I cannot build a table of contents more than 2
levels deep. When I try to build 3 or 4 levels table I get "Error! No table
of contents entries found".
