A long writing program

aximluvah · 06-30-03, 09:31 AM

I am looking for something that I can write on that will be the length of a peice of paper or longer. I like writing notes in Bug Me but their too short. I need to write up something for my sister's wedding and I need the room to work. I do not want to use the transcriber with Pocket Word, that's to agrevating for words, any help would be great, enjoy your Mondays'

Maybe a product from Seiko called "Ink Link" might be what you're looking for?

1. get pocket informant
2. go to notes section
2a. go to options and select notes, then choose "drawing" instead of text input.
3. go to note and you can write continuously for as long as you want. I sometimes write entire directions or notes that scroll 4 or pages long.
4. Greatest perk ever - sync your ax and if you use Outlook (97 to xp all work) go to notes on your desktop and amazingly the actual handwritten note appears in your original handwriting for you to view. I have over 100 long handwritten notes and I categorize them on the outlook desktop. I even print some. I have even written entire recipes and printed for my cookbook. I used bugme for years, but this beats it hands down.

Hope this helps.

I'm liking the inklink but at 100 bucks I'll probably have to ask Santa for it ;) As for the informant 30 bucks is steep, but it could prove worthwhile. Thanks a ton for all your help.

I take it you hav eto have the registered version for those settings? I checked it out and couldn't find anything in the way of the settings you were talking about

I have registered PI, but the unregistered version works just the same, it's just time limited.

1. open PI
2. click notes
3. click the hammer icon, go to options
4. go to notes (on the bottom between dialing and globals
5. under "new" select "drawing" and under view select "drawing".
6. click ok
7. Now when you select notes, try a "new" note. You will get a double pane view with notes listed above and an empty space below. Open a new note and start drawing a hand written note. You can scroll as long as you need.
8. Sync to desktop. Go to Outlook on desktop, open notes and your original handwritten note should be there too.

good luck.
