TexNotes - a word processor for structured chaotic

a

Zr have today's word processors with tens of thousand functions multimedia capabilities - but the way we write, has not changed much in decades. We write a linear, a little step follows the other, from time to time what is copied, deleted, inserted, etc. So it has. But just when we produce new texts (have) our thinking usually not linear - if so, it rather follows the chaos principle: an idea here, another there, an idea which vanishes, a fragment that we still can not classify, etc. etc.
TexNotes is a small word processor that specializes in this kind of writing. On the one hand, it gives the author of all the opportunities to write freely and completely "self-indulgent." On the other hand, is structured, filtered, organized and linked to the idea that there is a real pleasure.

The basic idea of ​​the program is to write on a page as the ideas come. So, for example, directly "to stick" a note to a word that appears with a small arrow icon appears in the usual and Bubble-style. No one loses the thread and the thought is not lost. The same is true ...

for the small Skizzen-/Doodle-Funktion for Mindmap and integrated snapshot function.
On the other side is provided with flexible branches and special filters that maintain the structure and thought you all the beautiful thoughts and finds. The second reason is the idea of ​​TexNotes: The distribution of large designs or texts in "bites" that are networked together. This can be seen immediately on the left navigation bar (the respective sub-headings and sub-points are arbitrarily "sliding") and on the tabs that you know by now of browsers (and miss the big office pacts still can).

Alone are 6 or 7 different types of links to internal sections of text, files, external (from other programs), URLs, etc. it together anchor function to the middle "jump" in a section at a certain point. It pops up a selection outline so that you can choose the branch points by simply clicking ( (enlarge picture) ).
Was also a success, the search function: While most MS products the user is still "jump" from reference to reference time-consuming, can Texnotes shows all occurrences in a list along with the surrounding text. Various search refinements (eg, if my notes will be included in the search, or - vice versa - just give notes or keywords to search) are used by a simple cross.
Of course, I may at any time, anywhere bookmark (Bookmarks), which are then collected in a separate tab. Prima also here: the quick-marking takes on the text of the row. But I can arbitrarily rename each bookmark (eg "There is Missing Graphics") - the reference is still correct.
Very nice store and arrange the different working environments: With one click I've always just the desktop layout and window insertion, I just want to.
And also from the statistics function to copy some programs, other: She is not only mega-length (number of words, phrases, letters, links, etc., etc.) and be limited to specific chapters, sections, parts of the text, etc. No, they also creates immediately a general word index with frequency distributions and calculated equal to 4 (!) of being able to assess from linguistics known commercial benchmark, the comprehensibility of texts (as I have not übprüft whether the German for the syntax is correct - enlarge ).

Is the spell checker it in German (old and new rules), all common formats including print formats, templates, tables, graphics integration (here only the basic functions), text manipulation, etc. are available as well as easy export options (there may even be an HTML Frameset generated by the structure) together with gimmicks such as the auto-completion while typing (at the time of the Swiss word processor introduced Witch, which hardly anyone knows today), but personally I turn off the better.

Definitely worth a look for people who have a lot to do with text. Although shareware but with lavish 60-day trial period, without limitation, so you can study at our leisure, whether you want to spend 40 € for the program. I tested version 4.2.
