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.

What’s new in version 4.0

Version 4.0 includes drag and drop entire columns of blocks and optional footnote area where you can enter reference information.
