    No, except for pictures (which are all over the place) I keep my notes in my "Intertexti"[^] app with links to folders / URL's that I need to reference. :) Marc

        TagSpaces - Your Hackable File Organizer[^] Looks interesting...

        Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

        Hmm, as you say, looks interesting, but she doesn't always have an Internet connection. [edit] Ahhh: TagSpaces is running completely offline on your computer, smartphone or tablet and does not require internet connection or online registration Nice. [/edit] Marc

            Makes it easy to backup all your sorted data as well. (With all OneNote files in one folder.)

              My neighbor needs to organize (and be able to locate afterwards) documents, images, misc. notes, emails, and so forth. Ideally, I'd like to suggest something to her that lets her tag documents, cross reference them, etc. Any suggestions? Marc

                              No real help I know - and I would also go with Evernote or OneNote (I use OneNote), but this brought to mind a unique product that came out with the Wordperfect Suite many years ago, which - in today's terms - would effectively be almost a map/reduce or freeform document database. You could put just about any type of file into it and then traverse the contents in just about any way you could think of. It was years ahead of its time, and got dropped very shortly as no one really appreciated how useful it might be, and was replaced with a fairly useless product of the same name. I probably still have a copy hidden away somewhere in my archive of old floppies, but no idea where, and I wish I could remember the name of it. (That's the trouble with getting old you forget why you, errm, ahh...)

                                  Up-vote on OneNote. Plus if you use OneDrive with it you get redundancy and can access your info from web, phone, etc. Link or insert documents, can OCR images, searches on everything, tagging, integration to other Office apps... not sure what else you need. Killer app.

                                      Thanks! Playing with OneNote, that tagging looks to be a PITA. The list of built-in tags is long, the pulldown small, it doesn't look like you can right-click and create a tag, you have to go through some wonky non-intuitive process, and creating a custom tag is a PITA. Then, searching on tags is pretty unintuitive as well. Unless I'm missing something? Marc

                                        I've been using OneNote, and its okay (I use it to organize notes for a book I'm writing). However, I just came across EverNote yesterday and I'm trying out the free version. It seems very promising in many respects. (Although I would love to hear other people's view of it on this forum.)

                                          OneNote on Onedrive + OneDrive with extra documents on it and linked in OneNote.

                                          Thanks! Playing with OneNote, that tagging looks to be a PITA. The list of built-in tags is long, the pulldown small, it doesn't look like you can right-click and create a tag, you have to go through some wonky non-intuitive process, and creating a custom tag is a PITA. Then, searching on tags is pretty unintuitive as well. Unless I'm missing something? Marc

                                          I don't use tagging; I feel no need to do. I find everything very easily by search function.
