Publisher's description of Writer's Blocks

From Ashley Software:

Writer's Blocks was developed for the creation of complex documents. Journalists, novelists, authors, researchers, screenwriters, attorneys, students, and technical writers will be more productive with Writer's Blocks. Creating hundreds of "index-card" blocks, you'll capture, organize, outline, and structure your notes and ideas faster than ever before--keeping them onscreen where you can use them. By combining our acclaimed visual outliner with our innovative word processor, you now can use one tool from brainstorm to rewrite. Powerful features such as AutoScroll (click on a block to scroll your manuscript to the related section), AutoType (autocomplete any word that already exists anywhere your document), AutoSync (reorganize your manuscript by rearranging your blocks), and Auto Script (format a screenplay using the Tab and Enter keys). If you create structured documents or work with large amounts of related text, Writer's Blocks will help you.

Editor's review of Writer's Blocks

• 3.0 stars

• "Writer's Blocks"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Writer's Blocks 3.0

Despite a title that should strike fear into the hearts of budding writers everywhere, this program is essentially Microsoft Word with a few colorful tricks. Word users will immediately recognize similar toolbar functions and options. To use, you create "blocks," which are small notes or ideas that can then be assembled into a larger document, or rearranged at will. While you can't save individual blocks, you can save a few blocks in a larger document. Also, individual blocks can't be opened in any other program beside this one. Overall, this program might be helpful for those working on a book or longer writing project with multiple information sources.
