Labels:text | screenshot OCR: WinDings Desk-Top Organizer by Tony Curro Mosey on up to this product and you will wonder how you did without it. WinDings is a group of 5 Windows applications, that keep all your information together. The product has a Western motif, and comes with an Information Roundup booklet, rather than a manual. So corral the 40 page booklet, and in a few minutes you will be able to run the complete program. The five programs are: Show Your Cards, World Scout, Howdy !, Loan Arranger, and O.K. Corral. Show Your Cards -- No need to have that big Rolodex sitting on your desk. This program will replace it. If a name or company changes, you quickly edit the card, and save it. Nice and clean. Show Your Cards does look like a Rolodex, with alphabetic index you browse through, and two big wheels on each side that you turn by clicking up or down. You can search for cards in three ways: By Category, By Last Name, or By Company. Adding, Deleting, Copying or Printing cards are also very easy. Say you have several cards for XYZ each with a different contact name. With Show Your Cards you enter the information once. Then you can copy the card without the contact name, and insert that name only on the NEW card. You can do this for as many or as few fields as need to be changed, without having to input all the information. This program also ties in with Howdy! You can even use the COPY card command to copy it to the clipboard, where you can insert the information directly into your word processor or other programs. World Scout -- This gives you World Map, Time Zones and Country Codes. First time you run this, you must select your "Home Base." To do this you move the icon, shaped like a house, until the roof is touching your area. Click on it and you are presented with the dialog box, from which you can set DST or make other changes; clicking on OK, saves the information. Now clicking on any country or area will pop up a box with that information. Clicking on OK will put a box on the bottom of the window with the information in text mode. To remove it simply click on it and select the REMOVE button from the dialog box. You may have several different time zones listed, to keep track of time of your contacts around the world. Howdy! -- It is a phone dialer that will pick up numbers from the top card in Show Your Cards, and dial it for you. When there are several numbers: Work, Fax or Home, it allows you to click on the one you wish to call Loan Arranger -- This program will calculate your loan payments. Input the starting date, principal amount, APR, # years in loan; and it will show you monthly payment amount, total interest charge, total payback amount and more. The default is 12 payments, but can easily be changed by a mouse click. All the above information can be sent to your printer. O. K. Corral -- This is where you roundup ALL your loose information. You will find 12 categories here, eleven are for input, the other is to password protect your data. Enter credit card information, Social Security numbers, Policies, Health Care, Special Dates, Personal Notes and more. Any of this information can be changed easily, as it is in simple text, and can be changed like any other text in Windows. This inexpensive package would be a good addition to your Windows library. I was truly impressed with Show Your Cards, which actually gave the feel of a true Rolodex, not just cards one behind the other. When you are finished with the program, you click on Adios, Amigo.
