I use a program that looks completely different, but is intended for the same task: tomboy http://www.beatniksoftware.com/tomboy/ People have described it as a "desktop wiki", and while there might be some truth in that, it wrongly suggests that it is very complicated, while it is not. I've yet to meet somebody who tried it and did not like it. It does not use tabs, but hyperlinks instead. > I don't believe software like this (maybe OneNote comes slightly close) > has been incorporated into Office software yet, and I think this is > OOo's chance to add a another program into the stable of what an office > suite is.

I think Tomboy will be integrated with (not into) Evolution (e.g. it will be able to register Tasks and Appointments in Evo) AFAIK, so if there are sensible things that could be done in combining OOo and Tomboy, maybe you might suggest it to the author? /ralph -- Rettet die Wale und stÃrzt das System, und trennt euren MÃll, denn viel Mist ist nicht schÃn!
