[KeyNote NF] Tables?

[MarkS.]

Hello,

I've looked through all the menus, but can't see any optionto create
tables. Is that option available in this version of key note?

Thanks!
Mark

I create them in Word then paste; not idea, but works.

Thanks for the reply! What does it mean, then, when it says on the
home page:

* Better treatment of tables

?

Or is this a future item?

I've been reviewing a lot of information managers, and its surprising
how many of them don't have provision for editing tables.

Thanks,
Mark

Can't answer your question, but I've actually been trying all of the
free outliners I can find, and KeyNote is still the best, even though
table handling leaves a lot to be desired.

I used The Guide for about a year, then saw a post by the developer,
probably in frustration, that he wasn't developing it anymore and anyone
who wanted it could have at it. KeyNote-NF has someone developing
(intermittently, but at least he cares) so I switched to that.

BTW, the quirky MS doc handling is very strange, and I just haven't been
able to figure it out. I run KeyNote on a 32 bit Vista box at home and a
64 bit Vista box at work. I use KeyNote to hold documents that I can
open within it, edit, save, and later drag back out and share with
others outside KeyNote. Works fine at home, not at work. Same .knt file;
at work I can open, say, a Word doc, from within KeyNote, edit, save
back within KeyNote, and all is well. Just can't drag it back out. Also,
at work, any MS docs dragged into KeyNote lose their filename, and they
are labeled with the associated program they launch with (eg, "Microsoft
Word Document"). I can of course Open and Save As, but then the original
filename is not preserved and it's an extra step that introduces errors.

I experimented a bit, and it's the *type* of file that's at issue (in
addition to any configuration issues I might be missing). This affects
PDFs and MS suite far as I can tell, and I do have the full Acrobat
package on the office computer. Others aren't treated this way, like
images, text files, etc (I can drag in and out and filenames and changes
are preserved).

This is likely something MS and Windows file handling is doing, but I
can't figure it out.

Actually I'm still evaluating, and not limiting myself to free
software. It seems to be very common for these types of projects to
disappear, free or paid. They don't have a well-recognized niche like
spreadsheets or text editors.
