I am looking for a method to tag portions of text in a MS word document.

I am a law student, and I do a copicious amount of research and note taking. While I have a format to most of my notes and outlines, it would be a boon if I could tag sections of notes within the document. Thus I could later search for not only a keyword but a topic. This would help ID aspects of the topic that are not best expressed in the the major point heading.

If an example helps please see my post at macworld forums: http://forums.macworld.com/thread/98042?tstart=0  read more »

Hey all,

I’ve searched far and wide online and am really surprised not to find very much info on this (perhaps I’m using the wrong search terms!).

After reading Bit Literacy, I decided that I wanted to starting using plain text files more at work, especially for notes. Unfortunately, years of reading 43F has enhanced my fiddly nature, and I’m more focused on trying to format my notes “correctly,” or at least to have some sort of standard to stick to.  read more »

Hey all,

I’ve recently been racking my brain on how exactly to share information (the digital kind) with my wife. We’ve been together for 7 years, but only started living with each other (as opposed to different states and countries like before) after we got married in May.  read more »

Hey all,

I just went from being a resident with 0 administrative responsibility (except for patients) to being in charge of the pharmacy department of a 220 bed hospital with about 40 or so people I’m responsible for.

Basically I’m freaking out. I need advice and I’ve just bought GTD and am looking for ways to keep up before I inevitably fall behind.

Any advice, suggestions, or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated.  read more »

My home computer, a laptop with Windows XP, is on its last leg and I’ll need to replace it in the next few weeks. I’ll likely switch to a Mac.

With that in mind, I’m using a Windows PC at work. I’ve been gathering and organizing my digital life using Evernote on a thumb drive for the past two years. It’s been easy to access my data at both home and work, and print notes for reference on the go.  read more »

as a high school student a lot of files come through my computer. i have been using journler to organize all my files, journler entries, omnioutliner, pages, and the rest. smart folders and the other features keep it all organized. i want to know if there is any other program that would do the same as journler but more student centered. i do keep all my files in it as well so it cant be just a journal program. price isn’t an issue.

1. A place for everything.

This has been an especially valuable lesson for me. It’s easy and common to toss your keys and wallet somewhere when you enter your home. If you’re not tossing them in the same place every time, the next time you’re about to leave and need your keys to get back inside, you may not remember where it was you tossed them — or maybe you left them in a pocket without tossing them at all, but which pocket was it? What were you wearing, and where is that article of clothing now?  read more »

Hello all-

I am looking for a way to track the day to day minutiae of my ambulance service for me and several other supervisors. This is random information that needs to be referenced sometimes, and that is generally (currently) written down on paper. find that when I want to reference something, I am rifling through weeks worth of paper.

I have proposed moving this to some computer based format, and the higher ups have (sadly) decreed that it will be managed through MS outlook.  read more »

Any suggestions, etc.?
