Part 3 of 4
This contains the user's guide for NotePak, and is in Common Ground
format. You will need the Common Ground mini-viewer to view and/or print the manual. The
Common Ground mini-viewer is free (both Mac and Windows) and can be easily found, and it's
on the AMUG BBS in a Box CD (in Publish).
Note Outliner adds an additional item ("Outline") to the menu
that pops up when you tap the envelope icon that belongs to a note on the Notepad. If you
tap the "Outline" item, the Note Outliner opens displaying the note as an
Outline. Note Outliner provides tools for building and manipulating outlines. It has the
basic outline tools for creating new topics (aunt, sibling, child), expanding and
collapsing families and the entire outline, promoting and demoting families and cutting
and pasting families. In addition the outline can be scrolled. A selection of 4 label
types (none, bullets, Harvard and Legal) are available. Note Outliner will also let you
put checkboxes beside topics.
Notion HLM is a small extension that allows
HyperLinking of Notion lists into HyperNewt. Foundation Systems' HyperNewt leverages on
the built-in filing system of the Newton by adding a familiar file and folder metaphor.
HyperLinks are similar to aliases or shortcuts on a desktop computer. PelicanWare's Notion
2.0 is an easy-to-use, database-style tool that helps professionals manage all the lists
they need to organize vital information. With Notion HLM you can use the two data managers
together. This is a free utility. Credit: Foundation Systems.
One Note 1.3 is a descendant of "List Tools," a set of extra
"action button" actions for checklists and outlines in the Notepad. As I added
tools, it became inconvenient to use the action button. My solution was to rewrite the
Notepad as a "page" application, so that only one note shows at a time. This
means that I can place buttons anywhere without any ambiguity as to which note it applies
to. There is another benefit to this approach: the "new topic" buttons on an
outline or checklist are always in the same place, at the bottom of the screen, instead of
moving around. One Note is designed to be used as a replacement to the Notepad. If you
install it on the internal store you can set it to be the backdrop application. It
supports the 2.0 style status bar buttons. You can run One Note and the notepad
simultaneously.
This is a light-weight Outliner for the Newton that treats each Note as
a potential outline. It is much less Newton-ish than Dyno Notepad but also much faster,
safer and import-friendly. Outline looks like a separate application, but it really isn't.
Outline is really a way of viewing and editing a Note from the Notepad. It is important to
understand that every Note can be viewed as an outline and every outline is itself a Note.
You will need to use the Notepad to fax, beam, mail, delete or duplicate an Outline, or to
add formatting or pictures or to import or export an outline. Comes with a manual to load
onto your Newton. Read it before using!
Personal Stationery 1.2 - is my first attempt at writing add-on
stationery for the Newton. It doesn't have any special functions; it just gives you a
little something different and personal for your notes. It's also small (8k) and won't
hurt much. For public release, I've just inserted a small picture of a newt as the logo.
I'll insert your corporate or other logo of interest for a $10 fee (just to cover the work
involved). Otherwise, this stationery is freeware.
PowerNames 2.13 Demo - makes navigation between names lightning fast by
allowing you to jump instantly to your frequently used names. It is no longer necessary to
go hunting for a name. With this clever utility, you can simply tap on a name from a popup
list and have it instantly displayed. Names can also be made "power" names and
remain permanently in the list. PowerNames also allows you to quickly find names that are
not in the popup list.
PowerNotes 2.0 - is the next generation of powerPen Software's
stationery designer. Newton 2.0 already comes with three built in types of notes: lined
paper, the checklist, and the outline. These are accessed by tapping the new button in the
Notepad. With powerNotes, you can create your own personal note and modify it until it
looks just the way you like. powerNotes is highly expandable in that it has support for
plug-in tools built into it. Newton developers can create their own tools very easily by
following the soon to be published powerNotes API. Any developer who is interested should
contact powerPen at the email address below. This version of powerNotes adds many new
features which were requested in version 1.1. It also fixes many of the known defects. As
always, please report any bugs, problems, or feature requests to powerPen@eecs.wsu.edu. We
are also introducing a new way to get your powerNotes tools.
Quotes Stationary - Just a little stationery experiment. This lets you
keep track of quotes you may want to remember later and who said them. This allows you to
add a quotes category when creating a new Newton Note. Credit: Donald W. Miller, Jr.

Reindex NotePak 1.01 - Reindex will remove and recreate the data indexes
for your NotePak Version 2.0 data soups. Occasionally, the Newton corrupts an index and
you may experience problems. Usually, the problem manifests itself by not letting you
delete a particular item. If you are having problems deleting a particular item, try
running the Reindex program and see if it helps. If you continue to have problems, please
contact Atomic Software.
