It does look like a software like OneNote or BasKet can help you but just that you want it as an integral part of the word processor and you want specially named collections/notebooks per document titled "appendix" and "bibliography" for example. p.s. No sarcasm intended (though i'm well-known for that) but this teaches that desribing how the features of an existing MS product exactly fits our needs with such clear details is met with less retaliation than a post that's like "Will you guys make a OneNote replacement?" Applause for the smart strategy. :) I think on the other hand, the requirement is very specific. I'm not saying that only few users would require that, I mean it could be that only people with the needs as you describe are more in number. Couldn't the deskpad's feature be added as an extension or something? -- Diabolic Preacher As Is Blog: http://pintooo15.livejournal.com/ Bookmarks: http://simpy.com/user/dpreacher -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d+(-) s+:+ a22 C++@ UL@ P L+(++) E- W++ !N o?
