I have used Tree Pad for a number of years and agree that it is a super neat
little program. HOWEVER.....
The greatest utility program that I have added in many years is a "Desk Top
Search Engine" that completely (almost) indexes my hard drive. I happened
to install the free one from Yahoo, but there are many others around - also
free (I tried the one from Microsoft but didn't care for it).
Since I have saved every "meaningful" e-mail from the past 18 years, I have
a huge "data base" of information exchanged with other researchers, as well
as help and tips from this Legacy List. It is Very easy and quickly
searches everything - including all your outgoing correspondence (snail
mail), photo file names, saved IM files, spread sheets, PDF Adobe files
created by Legacy or downloaded from the web, etc. I have not yet figured
out how to have it index the Legacy .fdb files, but maybe someday...
If you have saved your "stuff" over the years, you will be amazed at the
amount of information that you have on your hard drive that you have
forgotten that even exists ;-) As I grow more mature and my memory
continues to go its separate way, it has been a Wonderful crutch.
Just a thought...

Hello Ann,
I am wondering if you would extend your offer to help to me. I've just
taken a quick look at TreePad and think I would like to purchase it just
for Legacy Tips. I now save all of the posts with information that I
think I might need in the future in a Legacy file, but then the Subject
lines do not always reflect the info that I am saving. Then I forward,
remove the unwanted into, insert a new Subject line and send it to myself.
Very akward to say the least. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have this
facility within Legacy? Wish list!

Thanks, Cathy, now I see it!
But it seems pretty useless, I could only only attach one comment to
each section of the Help Files.
Guess I'll look at TreePad again. :-)
cheers,
