"When using word to create a pattern description, do you follow a basic

necessary?"
No, I just open a blank document and 'free-wheel' it. I just make sure the
heading is what I want for my file folder title. When I'm done, I do a 'save
as' and then browse to the sub-folder I want the file in, and it's there.
Example- my 'houseflies' folder has a bunch of finished fly photos (sub-files),
1st batch, second batch, etc., and then a Word doc. file that has a ton of
'beautiful' housefly photos pulled from all over the net, to use as models for
tying. On some photos, i show the url where I got it, if I think I would want
to go back there. In Word, I can resize the photos brought in and make
observatins and suggestions about how and what to use for parts of the fly. If
I drew fly designs, I can also add the scanned drawing to either the folder or
the Word file.

Hi Mike;
When using word to create a pattern description, do you follow a basic
template or do you create a new word file with text and photos inserted as
necessary?

Maybe we can hire our grandkids to do it.

Mike,
I also have hundreds of sketches and drawings of fly designs, also
step-by-steps in a huge binder that I have to scan and file. Not even looking
forward to that chore.

I do similar to Don. I have on-line links bookmarked. In
addition, patterns that I plan to tie I create a Word document. I break this
down in the file structure much as Don describes but not quite so fine because
he ties thousands of patterns and I tie a few. For me this is an advantage
because I can add thoughts to to the file and pictures from different sources.

Hi All;
I recently acquired a Pansonic toughbook CF-18 computer
and plan on using it for hobby stuff, primarily fly tying/fishing.
Anyone store patterns on their computer? If so, how do
you do it and what software do you use?
One idea I have is creating a pattern book for events I
visit, such as Sow Bug. My wife recently made a cookbook of my daughter's
college soccer team tailgate recipies and had it published as a spiral cook
book. It worked really well and was well recieved by others.
