HotNotes! - Version 2.2
Product Description
The HotNotes! PAF utility program for the PC eliminates
repetitive typing! It works directly from within the
running Family Records program, adding dozens of new
commands and features. You can record and reuse keystrokes,
save and use text from Notes and use a powerful wordwrap
editor to straighten out Note paragraphs. All these and
many more features of HotNotes! work at the touch of a key,
without ever leaving Family Records!
Reusable Note Sources
---------------------
HotNotes! adds a convenient Source Menu to FR's Notes. You
can reuse paragraphs from your Notes over and over again!
Simply pop-up the Source menu, select a source, then insert
it into any Note! You can literally preserve thousands of
Note paragraphs in between PAF sessions, stored in various
HotNotes! source data bases. Each scrolling, pop-up menu
holds up to 999 sources. You can create and load as many
other source data bases as you'd like.
Creating the sources for your menu is a snap! Use any one
of three convenient ways: capture text directly from any
existing Notes screen and place it into the Source menu;
import external lists of sources; or use the built-in
wordwrap editor to create new ones. The Source Editor makes
it easy to enter new sources on-line HotGuides! actively
teach you how to enter sources conforming to the PAF
Documentation Standards, suitable for submission or sharing
with others. On-line Help is always just a keystroke away.
Wordwrap Editor
---------------
HotNotes! adds a welcomed mini-Wordwrap Editor. With it you
can edit a page or so of notes, supplementing the FR Notes
editor with full word wrapping! Now you can easily fix
those paragraphs that have unwrapped--capture lines of text
or the entire page directly from the Notes screen, wrap it,
then reinsert it, replacing the original Notes screen. The
wordwrap editor also permits direct insertion of Sources and
Tags, just like HotNotes! does within the FR Notes editor.
You can temporarily save text from the Wordwrap Editor in
the HotNotes! Clipboard, for later insertion into any
desired note.
Macros
------
HotNotes! Macro record and playback is simple yet powerful.
Define up to ten of your own favorite keystrokes for
automatically changing FR menus or replacing tedious text
entry. For example, record a HotNotes! macro for the
repetitious Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 place fields during
Individual entry. It's great for entering lots of people
from the same place--thereafter, simple press one hot key to
insert all four fields! Many additional permanent Notes
editing macros are also built into HotNotes!.
Tag Menu
Like the HotNotes! Version 1 feature, you can conveniently
insert Tags from a scrolling pop-up menu. No spelling
errors this way! All the PAF Documentation Standard tags
are included in this menu, plus fifteen more you can define
any way you'd like.
File Insertion
--------------
Insert external text anywhere into an FR Note. You may
conveniently combine externally prepared text from a word
processor with any existing FR Note. Or you may want to
add back into FR those Notes saved with FR's External Notes
Option. HotNotes! is great for adding in small biographies,
historical vignettes, research notes, or even older
materials freshly converted into computer text with a
scanner and character recognition software.
