 
NOTES, NAMES & HWR TOOLS
Part 4 of 6
NewBullet - This is a my rewrite of an old (wow, 5 months) program
called Bullet. This version should work on all Newtons, and should be compatible with
other programs that put buttons on the status bar (like NotePak). Basically, the program
puts a button on the Notes status bar. This button, when pressed, inserts a return and a
bullet into the text. Make sure you have an insertion point! Just tap on the screen where
you want the bullet, then press the button. Nice for making lists in the Note pad.
NewPage 2.5 - My Newton was beginning to frustrate me in that
handwriting recognition is far too slow to keep up with conversation. Ok, so I switched to
digital ink. Problem there was that once your digital ink note gets to about 2 or 3 screen
sizes, it takes a long time for the Newton to accept it so that you can scroll down to the
next empty screen. Finally, the the gesture for creating a new page is often
mis-interpreted as a word, causing even longer delays!!! newPage installs a button onto
the Notes app's status bar which quickly creates a new page and scrolls you down one
screen so that you're ready! Now it's an auto-install, uses default store, and uses
correct height.
NoteMan
places a small button in the upper or lower corner of your Newton's screen which brings
Notepad to the top layer of your Newton screen. 30 day shareware. Credit: Stand Alone

Convert
notes from one type to another. Note Pop places a small button in the status bar of the
NotePad (). If you have some selected text (ie. hilited), tapping the button will popup a
list of all the other notes in the current folder. Selecting a note will paste the hilited
text at the end of it. If there is no selected text, tapping the button will popup a menu
allowing you to easily create a new note or new dated note (a note with the current date
at the top.) 30 day shareware. Credit: Stand Alone Software.
Quickly
move info from one note to another. NotePad Converter (NPC) allows the user to convert any
of the three basic notes to any of the other types, or to copy an entire note from one
type to another. NPC also supports conversion of other Stand Alone notes utilities like
Graph Paper or Stationery Pack stationery to any other type of note if they're installed.
NotePad Converter places a choice in your routing menu. 30 day shareware.
Notes - (2k) is a button for use in your background application (as long
as the background app supports Auxiliary Buttons). Tapping the button opens the
"Notes" application. You don't need this if you are using the Note Pad as the
background app.
NoteScroller 4.02 - NoteScroller allows you
customize how you scroll the NotePad. You can control the number of Pixels scrolled and
have NoteScroller scroll continuously until you tell it to stop. This is a 30 day demo. A
registration code is required to continue use after 30 days.
NotesOrg 3.0e - (english version ) is probably
the most complete project and information mananger available for the Newton OS. It lets
you plan and manage your projects by setting and controlling a time frame for each
project. And - even better - it lets you add all the different objects of information that
already exist on your MessagePad to your project as you need them. It does not matter if
it is a card, a note, a meeting, a to-do, a call, a fax, an e-mail message. Everything can
be linked to your projects or even be created right from the project to be automatically
linked to it. All this makes NotesOrg 3.0 a perfect information manager for you to work
with. Requires Newton OS 2.x.
NoteTitles - NoteTitles is a successor to Notemarks, designed for Newton
2.0. It lets you access Notes in the Notepad which have titles. When you open NoteTitles,
a menu pops up of notes with titles. Select one of the titles from the popup menu; the
Note is displayed. The app will take a little while to open the first time it is run, but
is much faster thereafter. To give a note a title (and make a note show up in the
NoteTitles menu), tap the little picture at the top of the note and fill in a title.
(Notes with just the creation date--which otherwise appears as a title in the
notepad--will not appear in the menu.). NoteTitles will not work on a Newton running a 1.x
OS.
Create
custom order forms in the NotePad. With Order Form, you can record customer orders right
from your NotePad. Order Form adds a piece of NotePad stationery to your Newton. After
creating a new Order Form, you are presented with an area to fill in the customer's name
and phone number, among other things. After entering the client's information, you can
select method of payment (cash, check, or credit card) and enter payment information. An
editable popup list or products is provided (similar to the country pick list in Names.)

Make
your NotePad lines match up with the text, no matter the font size, and eliminate lines
from outlines. 30 day shareware. Credit: Stand Alone Software.
ProofRead is a text correction utility for the
Newton. ProofRead will work in Notes or any view which accepts text input. ProofRead is
extensible, meaning one can choose which parts to install. ProofRead 1.0 comes
pre-installed with a text search and replace function. Credit: Foundation Systems.
FREEWARE!
QuickNote - QuickNote is a simple seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time
application. The labels and menus allow you compose simple messages on your Newton in just
a few taps. General travel phrases are covered and you can edit the resulting text. .
