Cool! Even color coding comes across. This is going to take at most a day. I'm sure something will bite me in rear before this is done.

Good to know. Thank you.

For those reading this, how do you organize your notes? I have a names bible in a spreadsheet, but mostly I have one long Word document (about 120 pages and growing), most of it notes from what I thought was important in each of the study guides. Naturally the notes are organized by study guide, or by topic in the case of other research for the books. The file also contains growing notes for each of the three books I will eventually use for the outlines.

My biggest problem is taking all the research notes and applying them to the trilogy and, more specifically, to the individual books. If the notes were in a spreadsheet, I could flag each item by book number (some items would appear in more than one book.) Such a spreadsheet would be huge, with cells that are half a page long. It would, however allow me to sort by book number to geta complete list of all notes related to a specific book. This would be a ton of work to create and I'm sure there would be a lot of vague cases where I don't know where to put it. It also wouldn't allow me to sort in chronological order, so that I can see what belongs in each chapter of the novels, unless I include that in the spreadsheet as well.

Currently I colour code important and very important notes in green and red, respectively. Short of creating such a massive spreadsheet, I'm left with the idea that I have to read each note throughout the Word file and then copy the note into every outline to which it applies (books i, ii, or iii). This seems just as unwieldy as the spreadsheet.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

You've been subconsciously influenced by Snoke.

njc, how bad is the weather near you?

Don Chambers writes a lot of his stories in first person, present tense. So I believe he would write it: I flip Binny the bird. You can tell a story as it is happening, which is present tense. Send him a message if you want him to comment on this. He's not very active on the site at the moment.

Personally, I wander in blizzards. This winter is sh*t in Calgary. I'm stuck indoors half the time because all-season tires aren't sufficient for the roads. Although I'd rather be here than in the NE US today. I saw a video of a cross-wind so strong, it almost tipped a tractor trailer on its side along a straight stretch of highway.

I joined Scribophile a while back. They rejected my pen name and deleted my account. If I remember correctly, your chapters can only get new reviews for a limited time. That doesn't work for me.

I blush.

I think I found the ultimate Catholic study guide for Revelation. The author spent ten years researching and writing it. Eight hundred pages, including many of the private prophecies (to saints, seers, etc.) that I've read about but can't interpret or fit into a timeline. I figured for $10 on Kindle, what the heck. Another week or two of reading and note-taking. For those keeping score, that's eight study guides.

You can't leave inline comments in xline view, at least not during the initial review. Also, as Bill said, the 2x2 summary field at the bottom requires html tags.

You'll have to try it to see what it does with the summary box at the bottom when you switch to Xline after having saved it first. As Bill said, you may need to use html tags in the summary field if you're on the Xline tab. You can always go back to default tab and put the summary in there. Be sure you open it once more after you submit it to ensure the field remains populated after you submitted it. Always entering the summary from the default tab is probably the best way to do it.
