NoteBook 3.0
Overview
Computer users today have a big problem: how to manage all the important bits of information that lack a good home. Youre surng the web, for example, and run across something youd like to save. You might copy it to a le, save it on your computer, and do that a few more times and wind up with a hard drive jumble of les. Or youre working on a project, and you have e-mails, notes and spreadsheets that are all related to the project. You could try using a folder in the Finder to keep everything together, and although everything would be in one place, it still wouldnt be organized. NoteBook helps you manage these bits of information. With it you can:
n n n
Store dierent kinds of information notes, images, les together in one place. Organize it in a way thats familiar and make sense. Search for information using what little bit you remember about it: a name, a number, the date you added it. Share your information with other people, as PDF documents or via the web.
Getting Started
Launch NoteBook. Youll notice that NoteBook documents look like paper notebooks, with pages and tabs.
The default page for holding information is a Note page. You can double-click anywhere on a Note page to add a note. You can also organize notes using an outline. Outlines are great for keeping lists organized.
NoteBook 3.0
Choose File Save and give the Notebook a name.

By default, NoteBook saves your Notebooks in your ~/Documents/ Notebooks folder.
Press Return to add a cell to the pages outline. Start typing, then press Return when youre done.
Press Return again to create a new cell, then press Tab to indent it.
The indented cell is now a child of the cell above. Cells with children have a blue triangle.
Use the Return key create more cells.
NoteBook 3.0
Click the triangle to hide the parent cells children.

A cell with hidden children is collapsed and its triangle points to the right. An expanded cells children are visible, and its triangle points down.
Click the triangle again to expand. Drag a blue bullet to rearrange the list.
Drag a bullet or triangle to move cells in the outline.
Drag a le from the Finder and drop it on the page.

NoteBook copied the file into the Notebook (you can also add links to files). You can store files, photos, movies, anything in a Notebook, and use the outline to organize it.

Pages in a Notebook
In the previous topic you added cells to a Note page. Note pages store information within a Notebook. Notebooks contain several other types of pages. Click the tab named Contents to turn to the Notebooks Contents page.
The Contents page lists all of the pages within the Notebook. Its the first page of every Notebook.
Press the right arrow key to turn to the next page, the Notebooks untitled Divider page.
A Divider page is like the divider pages you find in five-subject paper notebooks, and it has the same job: to group pages together. New Notebooks start off with an untitled Divider page. You can remove it or add more.
NoteBook 3.0
Dividers pages are outlines that list page instead of information. Press Return to create a new cell.
Adding a new cell to a Divider adds a new page to the Notebook. The text you type in the cell becomes the pages new name.
Click the Contents tab again, to return to the Contents page.

The Contents page shows the page you just added, as a child of the Divider. The Contents and Divider pages are also outlines. Dragging a cell moves the page to a different spot in the Notebook. Clicking a triangle hides pages from view.
In the Contents page, nd the page named Text in the Multidex and click its page number.
Every Notebook has a Multidex, a collection of pages that make it easy to find information in a Notebook. For example, the Text Multidex page lists all of the words in the Notebook. If you were ever looking for a cell with a particular word, you could find it here easily. But more on Multidex pages in a bit....

NoteBook 3.0
Before You Upgrade to 3.0

If youre upgrading from an older version of NoteBook, please follow these steps before installing NoteBook 3.0: 1. Make a backup of all of your existing Notebooks and store it in a safe place! Its always a good idea to back up your documents before installing a new version of software. While we dont anticipate any problems, its better to be safe. 2. If youre upgrading from an older version of NoteBook, obtain a new license key. NoteBook 3.0 does not accept older NoteBook license keys. If you dont have a new license key, please visit the Circus Ponies Online Store to purchase an upgrade. 3. Archive the older version of NoteBook, if you want to keep it around. 4. Review the Installation Guide page named, Before you Migrate to Leopard. This page discusses a bug in OS X 10.5 (Leopard) that can cause problems in opening older Notebooks, and how to circumvent it. 5. After installing, choose Help Whats New in NoteBook to learn about changes and new features.
Before You Migrate to Leopard

A bug in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) can prevent some older Notebooks from opening or displaying correctly on Leopard. Specically, if you created Notebooks using NoteBook 1.0, or ran NoteBook 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 under OS X 10.1, some of your Notebooks may be aected. Before migrating to Leopard, you can check the format of your Notebooks by opening them on your existing Mac running OS X 10.4 or earlier.
When you open a Notebook on Tiger, NoteBook checks its file format and lets you know if it needs updating. Be sure to back up your Notebooks before updating them. NoteBook will not display a message if a Notebook does not need updating.
If you rst started using NoteBook with the 2.0 release, your Notebooks should open OK on your Mac running Leopard.

NoteBook 3.0
IMPORTANT You cannot update your Notebooks if you have already upgraded to Leopard. If you have a Notebook that does not open correctly on Leopard and you no longer have access to NoteBook on a Mac running Tiger or earlier, please visit http://www.circusponies.com/support for assistance. You must use NoteBook 2.1 (v262) or higher to update your Notebooks. Earlier versions of NoteBook do not perform the check and cannot update your Notebooks.
Installing the NoteBook Application

Note: NoteBook 3.0 requires OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) or higher. To install NoteBook, drag the NoteBook application from the installation disc window to your Applications folder.
To install NoteBook, drag the NoteBook application from the Installation Disc window, into your computers Applications folder. Be sure the copy cursor appears when you drag NoteBook into your Applications folder. The copy cursor shows that the Finder is making a copy of NoteBook. If you downloaded NoteBook from the web, eject the disk drive icon in the Finder and drag the CircusPoniesNoteBook.dmg file to the Trash and empty the Trash. If you installed NoteBook from a CD, eject the installation disc and store it in a safe place. Finally, drag NoteBook from your Applications folder to your Dock, so that its easily accessible.
25
NoteBook 3.0
Troubleshooting
Whenever I launch NoteBook, the NoteBook installation disk drive icon appears on my Desktop. After you select the disk drive icon and File Eject it, be sure to drag the disk image (.dmg) le you downloaded from the Circus Ponies website to the Trash, and then empty the Trash. If you dont empty the Trash, the Finder may locate the disk image in the Trash and use it to launch NoteBook.
Entering Your License Key

Launch NoteBook, and after reading and agreeing to the Software License Agreement, enter your NoteBook license key. If you purchased NoteBook from a store, your license key is located on the back of the CD envelope. If you obtained NoteBook over the web, your license key will arrive in an e-mail from the Circus Ponies website.
IMPORTANT: NoteBook 3.0 license keys are case-sensitive.
After you enter your license key, NoteBook saves it in a le in ~/Library/Application Support/NoteBook/ Licenses. The next time you launch NoteBook, it will read your license information from this le instead of asking you for it.
NOTES
If youre upgrading from an older version of NoteBook, you cant use your old NoteBook license key to run NoteBook 3.0. Please visit the Circus Ponies Online Store to purchase a license key upgrade. Store your NoteBook license key in a safe place, in case you ever need it to reinstall or relicense the application. Dont store it in a Notebook if you cant launch NoteBook because you need your license key, you wont be able to retrieve it from within a Notebook!
26
NoteBook 3.0
Managing Your NoteBook Licenses

Choose NoteBook License Manager to view your NoteBook licenses.
The License Manager shows you the number of tokens each license contains.
A license key contains one or more tokens each token allows a single copy of NoteBook to run. Most license keys contain a single token. A NoteBook Family Pack license key, by contrast, contains three tokens. When a Family Pack user runs NoteBook, their copy of NoteBook uses one of the three tokens. Click Add in the License Manager to add another license key. Placing a license le in a computer-wide folder makes it available to all users of that computer.
When NoteBook launches it looks for license files in your Library folder, and in your computers Library folder. Installing a license file in your computers Library folder allows other users of your computer to run NoteBook without having to enter the license key themselves.
27
NoteBook 3.0
Recovering From an Invalid License File

NoteBook saves your license key information in a le in ~/Library/Application Support/NoteBook/Licenses. If the license key le ever becomes invalid, NoteBook displays an error message.
Click Go to License Manager... to view your Notebook licenses.
Click Delete to delete the invalid license file, then Add and reenter your license key.
Be sure to enter your license key and not your license keys serial number. NoteBook wont accept the serial number in lieu of the license key.
By The Way...
Why might a license le become invalid? A license le is unique and becomes invalid when copied. If you ever restore your home folder from a backup, for example, NoteBook may not accept the restored license le. Re-entering your original license key allows NoteBook to generate a new and valid license le.
Installing NoteBook on Additional Computers

You can use your license key to install NoteBook on as many computers as you like. The only restriction is that the number of running copies of NoteBook cannot exceed the number of available license tokens. If you have a desktop and a laptop, for example, you can install NoteBook on both computers. In order to run NoteBook on the desktop, however, you must rst quit it on the laptop (and vice versa).
28
NoteBook 3.0
Troubleshooting
When I enter my NoteBook license on my second computer, NoteBook says its not available for use. Be sure youve quit NoteBook on your rst computer. If your license key contains a single token, only one of your NoteBook copies can run at a time.
Uninstalling NoteBook
If you ever need to uninstall NoteBook, remove the following les and folders (~ denotes the path to your home folder): 1. /Applications/NoteBook 2. ~/Library/Application Support/NoteBook 3. ~/Library/Preferences/com.CircusPonies.NoteBook.plist 4. ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/NoteBookCMPlugIn.plugin 5. ~/Library/Services/NoteBookHelper.service Then restart any running applications to remove NoteBooks Clipping Services from their contextual menus.

Notebooks and Pages

Notebooks resemble their real-world paper counterparts, making them familiar when it comes to organizing information. They are also just as exible as real-world notebooks: you can create a Notebook with a single page, to hold a paper youre writing. Or a Notebook with sections and subsections, to organize information about clients. You can store everything in a single Notebook, or spread your information out across multiple Notebooks. NoteBook is exible, and lets you store your information in the way that works for you.
NoteBook Page Types

Each new Notebook contains three dierent types of pages:
n
Note pages - the most-common type of page in a Notebook, designed to hold notes, outlines, sketches and other information. Divider pages - just as with paper notebooks, Divider pages organize note pages into sections and subsections Multidex pages - pages at the back of every Notebook and that make it easy to nd notes by what little you remember about them: a name, a number, the date you entered them.
The rst page of every Notebook is the Contents page, a Divider page that lists all of the pages in the Notebook and shows how they are organized into sections and subsections. Each Notebook also has a Cover page that you can use to conceal a Notebooks contents. Each Notebook has only one Contents page and one Cover page, but you can add as many Divider and Note pages as you like.
Other Page Types

Each new Notebook contains a three dierent types of pages:
n
Writing pages - Writing pages are like word processor documents, containing text instead of an outline of cells. Cornell Note Taking pages - Cornell Note Taking pages implement the Cornell Note-Taking system, the most widely-used system for taking lecture notes in North American education: a right column contains your notes, a left column review questions that you formulate, and a space at the bottom of the page contains your summary of the notes. You test yourself on the material by answering the questions with the notes column hidden (View Notes Column). More information on the Cornell Note-Taking System is available at http://www.clt.cornell.edu/campus/learn/LSC_Resources/cornellsystem.pdf. To Do pages - To do pages are not really a special type of page, rather they are Note pages that NoteBook pre-congures for easily organizing to dos.
Deleting a Page
Delete the current page by choosing Page Delete. You can also delete a page by turning to a Divider that lists it, such as the Contents page, selecting the page in the outline, and pressing the Delete key. You cannot delete the Contents page.

NoteBook 3.0
Organizing Pages Using Divider Pages

A Divider page marks the start of a section within a Notebook. It lists the pages that live within its section in the form of an outline. Outlines are great for managing lists, and especially hierarchical lists, such as pages and dividers organized into sections and subsections.
Adding Pages to a Divider

When youre turned to a Divider page, pressing Return with nothing selected adds a new Note page to the Divider. If youve selected a page in the Dividers outline, pressing Return adds a new page of that type right after the selected page. You can also add pages using the commands in the Page menu. Once youve added pages, you can reorder them by dragging, or by using the commands in the Outline Move menu. Each page you add to a Notebook is owned by the Contents page or other Divider page. NOTE: By default Notebook adds a tab to each new Divider page. You can change this behavior in the Notebook pane in the Inspector Window (Window Inspector).
Creating a Subsection
If you add a new Divider page (Page Divider Page), the new Divider page marks the start of a subsection. By moving Note and other pages to be children of the new Divider, those pages become part of the new subsection. When you add a page to a Divider, NoteBook shows that Divider with a triangle next to its name. Clicking the triangle hides or shows the pages the Divider owns. You can continue adding new Divider pages to existing Dividers to create any number of sections and subsections, with any level of depth, within your Notebooks.
Removing Pages
Choosing Page Delete deletes the current page. If youve turned to a Divider page, pressing the Delete key deletes the pages youve selected in the outline. Additionally, the Page Remove Multidex removes the Notebooks Multidex pages (you can add them back by choosing Page Add Multidex). You cannot delete the Contents page.
33
NoteBook 3.0
Navigating Through a Notebook

Turning Pages
There are several dierent ways to turn pages in a Notebook.
Click the page curl to go back or forward, or type a page number in the page number field and press Return. Click a pages tab to jump to that page. In a Divider page, click a page number or bullet to jump to a page.
Control- or right-clicking a Divider pages tab lists the pages in its section. In addition, you can turn pages using the Page Go menus navigation commands. You can disable NoteBooks page turning animation in NoteBook preferences.
Turning Pages Using the Navigation Bar

Choose View Navigation Bar to reveal the navigation bar, which displays the current pages location within the Notebook.
Click a Divider name to turn to that Divider. Click and hold the Divider name for a list of its pages.
Navigation Using the Contents Card

Choose View Contents Card to reveal the Contents Card, which lists all of the pages in a Notebook for quick page navigation. The Contents Card lists all of the pages within a Notebook. Click any page in the list to turn to it. You can toggle the Contents Card by Option-clicking the Notebook icon at the left side of the Navigation bar.
34
NoteBook 3.0
Opening a Page in a Separate Window

There are times when you need to view one page from a Notebook while working with another page in that same Notebook. Choosing Page Open in a New Window places the current page in its own window, separate from the original Notebook window, leaving you free to turn to a dierent page in the original Notebook window. Opening a page in its own window is akin to temporarily pulling it out of the main Notebook, so while a page resides within its own window you cannot turn to it within the original Notebook window. Any changes you make to a page in its own window are preserved when you save the Notebook or close the pages window. You can place as many pages as you like in their own separate windows. You can also open a page in its own window by Option-clicking the page in a Divider pages outline.
Protecting a Notebooks Contents

Every Notebook has a cover page for hiding a Notebooks contents from view. You can also set a password needed to open the Notebook, and encrypt pages within a Notebook.
Covering a Notebook
Every Notebook has a Cover page, which you can show or hide using the File Cover command. By default the Cover page shows the Notebooks name. Double-clicking the Cover uncovers the Notebook. The Notebook Inspector (Window Inspector) contains options for auto-covering a Notebook. For example, you can set a Notebook to automatically turn to its cover page if theres no activity in the Notebook for some amount of time, which is great if youre ever called away from your computer without a change to cover it.
Assigning a Password to a Notebook

Choose File Set Password to assign a password to a Notebook. When you assign a password using the File Set Password command, NoteBook will ask you to enter it whenever you open the Notebook. The Notebook Inspector also contains an option to require the password to uncover the Notebook.
Preventing Editing on a Page

Choose Page Prevent Editing to prevent any changes from being made to the current page.
Encrypting Pages within a Notebook

Even with a password, an unscrupulous person can view a NoteBook les contents in a text editor. For pages with sensitive information, choose Page Encrypt within Notebook to encrypt the pages data within its Notebook on disk. When you choose Page Encrypt within Notebook, NoteBook will ask you to set the Notebooks password if you have not already done so, which it will use to encrypt the page. If you have not set the Notebook to ask for a password on open, NoteBook will only ask for the password when you turn to the encrypted page or otherwise attempt to access its information. For example, if you print or turn to a Multidex page, NoteBook will ask for the Notebooks password in order to print or display information from encrypted pages. If you do not enter the password you can still print and access the Multidex, but no protected information will appear. Note that while NoteBook encrypts the pages data, it does not encrypt any of the pages attachments. IMPORTANT: Store your Notebooks password in a safe place you wont be able to open your Notebook without it!

36
NoteBook 3.0
Telling NoteBook Not to Add a Tab to New Divider Pages

By default, NoteBook adds a tab to each new Divider page you add to a Notebook. The Notebook Inspector contains an option to disable this behavior. You can set NoteBook not to add tabs to new Dividers for all new Notebooks in NoteBook preferences.
Changing a Pages Tab Settings

Choose Page Add a Tab to add a tab to the current page, and Page Remove Tab to remove it. You can add a tab to any page and remove it from any page, including the Contents page. Use the Page Tab Inspector (Window Inspector) to customize a tabs appearance, such as its background color and font.
Viewing How a Pages Current Settings Differ from the Default Settings
Every Notebook maintains a template page for each of the pages types you can add. Whenever you create a new Divider page, for example, NoteBook creates it by copying the Notebooks Divider page template. To see how a pages settings dier from the template for its type, choose Show Custom Settings from the Inspectors Options tab, near the Inspector panels lower-right corner.
With Show Custom Settings active, the Page Background, Format, Tab, Font and Numbering Inspectors mark settings that differ from the template using a purple circle with an arrow. Pressing and holding the Option key displays the templates settings.
Applying a Pages Custom Settings to Other Pages

Adding a Text Note to a Page

Notebooks contain dierent types of pages, each specialized for the information they contain. The most common page is a note page, which can contain anything from a simple note to a diagram.
Adding a Note
To add a note to a page, choose Notes New Text Note, or just double-click anywhere on the page. Notes can contain multi-font text and attachments, and can be placed wherever you like. When youre done typing a note, press Escape or the Enter key to stop editing, or just click outside its bounds. When selected, a note has resize knob at the corners - click and drag a knob to change the notes size, or hold down the Option key while dragging to rotate the note.
Removing a Note
To remove a note, select it and press the Delete key.
Setting the Default Note Font

Use the Font Inspector (Window Inspector) to set the pages default note font. When you create new notes, they will use whatever new font you choose.
Managing Notes Using an Outline

In NoteBook, you can also store information in outlines made up of cells. Outlines are great for managing lists, and especially hierarchical lists, like a to do list made up of sub tasks. You create an outline by adding and arranging cells. A cell contains a note youve typed, some text youve pasted, or even les or images youve imported. Cells are similar to text notes except being members of an outline they cannot be placed at any location on a page.
Creating an Outline
New pages are empty, except for their name. Press Return to create the rst cell in the pages outline, then begin typing to ll the cell with text. Press Return to end editing, and again to add another cell. When youre not editing text, the Delete key removes any cells youve selected.
These two cells are siblings they have the same amount of indentation within the outline.
Quickly Adding Cells using List Mode

If youre typing a list of items, youll want to add a new cell each time you nish with the current one. Choosing Outline List Mode causes the Return key to end editing of the current cell and add a new cell for your next list item. See the Keyboard pane of NoteBook preferences to make List Mode your default state.

NoteBook 3.0
Indenting and Unindenting Cells

Press the Tab key to indent the selected cell, and Shift-Tab to unindent it. You can also indent cells using commands in the Outline menu. You cant indent the rst cell on a page because theres no cell above it to become its parent.
When you indent a cell, the cell above becomes its parent. The indented cell becomes a child of the cell above it. Cells with children have a triangle cell control.
Moving Cells
The blue bullet or triangle at the cells left side is its cell control. Click and drag the cell control to move a cell.
When you move a cell, its children move with it.
You can also move cells using commands in the Outline menu. TIP: You can move a cell to another page by dragging it onto the other pages tab. Copy a cell to another page by Option-dragging it to the tab.
Hiding or Showing Child Cells

Clicking a cells triangle to hides or shows its children. A cell with hidden children has a right-pointing triangle.
A cell is collapsed if its children are hidden, and expanded if theyre visible.
You can also expand and collapse cells using commands in the Outline Expand and Collapse menu. TIPS: Option-Right Arrow expands the currently-selected cell and selects its rst child. Option-Left Arrow collapses the currently-selected cells parent and selects the parent. Option-click a triangle to expand a cell and all of its descendants.
41
NoteBook 3.0
Reducing a Cell to a Single Line of Text (aka Folded Editing)

To hide all but the rst line of text in a cell, select the cell and choose Outline Show Full Cell Text.
Cells with hidden text end in an ellipsis. Clicking in the cell exposes all of its text. The cell reverts to its first line when you end editing. The Escape key is the keyboard shortcut for hiding and showing full text.
Working with a Portion of an Outline

Use Outline Hoist to work with just a portion of a large outline. Hoisting hides all cells except the selected cell and its descendants. When you hoist, ellipses appear at the top and bottom of the page, to indicate that some of the pages cells are not visible. You can hoist multiple times within the same page. Outline Unhoist undoes the most-recent hoist, and Outline Unhoist All restores all cells to view. By The Way: Why did we name this command hoist? We didnt its a term coined back when outlining applications were rst written.
Assigning Fonts to Different Levels in an Outline

Use the Font Inspector (Window Inspector) to apply a font to each level in the outline. With the Font Inspector you can set the pages default note font, and congure the page to auto-format its cells. Autoformatting forces cells at dierent levels in the outline to always use the same fonts. TIP: If you just want to revert a cell back to the pages default font, select it and choose Format Font Plain. Choosing the Plain font setting also removes ruler settings such as sub- or super-scripting.
Numbering Cells
To prex cells with bullets, Roman numerals or other characters, select the cells you want to number and choose a numbering style from the Outline Numbering menu. Choose Outline Numbering Customize... to customize the numbering style, font and other options.
Sorting Cells
You can use the Sort pane in the Actions Inspector to sort a pages cells. Choose Window Inspector to reveal the Inspector, click the Actions button, and nally the Sort tab within the Actions pane. Start creating your own sort, or click the popup menu control to choose a favorite sort. The Sort pane can sort using multiple criteria, such as by due date and then text. Drag the six sort criteria to rearrange the sort order.
Auto-sorting
If you have a list you want to remain sorted as you make changes, you can set the parent cell to auto-sort its children. Select the parent cell and then choose a sort from the Outline Auto-sort menu. By default, auto-sorting only applies to a cells children but you can set a cell to auto-sort all of its descendants. NoteBook adds an Auto-sorting Sticker to cells that are congured to auto-sort their children - click and hold the Sticker to view or change its settings. You can also auto-sort all of the top-level cells on a page: deselect all cells, then choose a favorite sort from the Outline Auto-sort menu.

Working with Attachments

Adding an Attachment to a Page
Drop a document onto a page to add it to the outline. By default NoteBook adds the attachment to the pages outline - to place the attachment anywhere on the page, hold down the Shift key.
The green copy cursor indicates the file will be copied into the Notebook. Press Control while dragging to create a link to the original file. When you link an attachment, NoteBook tracks it wherever you move it on your computer.
When you release the file, NoteBook creates a new cell to hold it. A linked file attachment has an arrow in its lower-left corner.
Once youve added a le to an outline you can delete the original. You can set linking to be your default action, in the Attachments pane in NoteBook preferences. To place a le into an existing note, click within the note to create an insertion point, then drop the le into the note.
Opening an Attachment
Double-clicking an attachment opens it within its default application. Control- or right-click an attachment for a menu of applications that can open the le. If you copied the le into your Notebook, NoteBook opens the copy (not the original). Any changes you make to it will get saved to that copy within the Notebook. If you linked the le into your Notebook, NoteBook opens the original le.
Customizing an Attachments Alignment in an Outline

Attachments within an outlines cells have three alignment options: left-aligned, right-aligned, and inline. With left- and right-aligned attachments, the cells text ows around the attachment. With inline attachments, the attachment appears between characters in the text, as if it were a large character. To change an attachments alignment, control-click the attachment and choose a new alignment from the contextual menu that appears, or use the Attachment Inspector. NOTE: any number of attachments can be aligned inline within a cell, but only one can have left- or right-alignment.

Getting a Quick Look Preview of an Attachment

If youre running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) you can Quick Look an attachment, which will cause the attachment to appear in the standard Quick Look viewer. Control-click the attachment and choose the Quick Look command from the contextual menu that appears, or use the Quick Look command in the Outline menu.
Importing from a Digital Camera

The Action Inspectors Capture pane can import les directly into a Notebook from your digital camera. NOTE: If your camera doesnt appear in the Capture pane, it may not be Mac-compatible. In general, NoteBook can access any camera or scanner that works with Apples Image Capture application. NoteBook will add mages and other les imported from a camera to the destination pages outline.
Working with LinkBack Attachments

When you paste an image or other content from a LinkBack-enabled application, you can later edit that content directly within the source application. For example, if you create an equation in a LinkBack-enabled equation editor such as LaTeXiT, you can paste the equation as an image into NoteBook. With the image selected, choosing Edit Edit in LaTeXiT launches LaTeXiT and opens the equation that created the image. If you change the equation and save, those changes also appear in NoteBook. For more information about LinkBack, and a list of LinkBack-enabled applications, visit the LinkBack Project website.

Clipping Selections From Other Applications into a Notebook

Clipping automates the process of copying information into a Notebook page. If youre using Apple Mail, for example, and want to save a message in one your Notebooks, you would select the text, copy it, launch NoteBook, open the Notebook, turn to the right page, paste, and then resume working in Mail. When you clip, you achieve the same result in just two steps. Whats more, clipping happens in the background so you never leave the application youre working in just clip and keep going, without losing your train of thought.
Preparing a Page for Clipping

Before you can clip to a page, you must choose Page Add Clipping Service to add a Clipping Service to that page. Adding a Clipping Service causes that page to appear in all of the applications on your computer. You can repeat this step for any other pages you want to clip to. A page with a Clipping Service attached has a scissors icon next to its name.
Clipping a Selection
Once youve made a selection within another application, clip it NoteBook by choosing a Notebook page from the applications Services NoteBook menu.
Each applications Services NoteBook menu lists all of your Clipping Services.
NoteBook briey changes its Dock icon and plays a sound to let you know that it received the clipping request. When you clip, NoteBook makes a copy of the original selection, including any attachments. You can delete the original selection without losing the clipped copy. The clipping is also fully editable.

Clipping to Cells in an Outline

When you clip to a page, NoteBook adds each clipping as a new item at the end of the pages outline. You can also clip directly to a cell in the outline, so that the clippings become children of that cell. For example, if you have an outline where the top-level cells are categories like E-mails and Web Clippings, you can add a Clipping Service to each category cell and clip selections directly to those categories.
To add a Clipping Service to a cell, select the cell and choose Outline Add a Clipping Service. NoteBook adds a Clipping Service Sticker to each cell with a Clipping Service.
Choosing a cells Clipping Service clips the selection and saves it as a child of the cell.
Adding a Keyboard Shortcut to a Clipping Service

You can add a keyboard shortcut to any Clipping Service menu item using the Clip pane of the Actions Inspector (Window Inspector).
Auto-saving After Clipping

Because clipping happens in the background, you might want NoteBook to save whenever you clip (otherwise you could lose them if your computer has a problem). Choose this auto-save option in NoteBooks general preferences.

Setting a Cells Priority

Choose View Priorities to hide or show cell priorities, and choose a priority setting from the Outline Action Item menu to change a cells priority.
With priorities visible you can also click and hold in the priority area next to a cell to reveal a priority menu. NoteBook tracks four priority values. You can choose a different priority symbol style in NoteBook preferences.
Managing The Appearance and Order of To Do Items

Changing the Appearance of Due Soon, Due Today, and Overdue Items
NoteBooks preferences panel contains options for how items that are due soon or overdue should appear. For example, you can set NoteBook to draw overdue items in red.
Striking Through and Hiding Completed Items

NoteBooks preferences panel contains options for how completed items should appear. For example, you can set NoteBook to draw complete items with a strikethrough or using a special color. Choose Outline Action Item Hide Completed Items to set NoteBook to hide completed items. NoteBook does not hide them immediately - it waits until you turn away from their page, or the start of a new day.
Keeping To Do Items Sorted with Auto-sorting

You can set NoteBook to keep your to dos sorted as you make changes or add more. With a parent cell selected, choose a sort from the Outline Auto-sort menu. The Prioritize sort was designed to manage action items, bubbling high-priority items to the top of the list, and bubbling completed items to the bottom. If your action items live at the top level of a pages outline, deselecting all cells and choosing a sort from the Auto-sort menu will set the page to auto-sort its cells.

Using the Multidex to Manage To Dos

Managing To Dos in the Multidex
The To Do Items page in the Multidex shows all of the cells with checkboxes within a Notebook, grouped by their completion status.
While other Multidex pages are static, you can modify the cells that appear on this page. Check off an item or change its due date, for example, and NoteBook moves it to the correct category.
NoteBook sets the To Do Items Index page to auto-sort its cells using an Auto-sort Sticker. Use the Sticker to change the sort or disable auto-sorting.

Exporting To Do Items to iCal and Entourage

Exporting To Do Items to iCal
Choose Page Sync Action Items to iCal to add a pages action items to your iCal calendar. An action item is any cell with a status checkbox.
NoteBook creates calendars for the action item status categories, or names the calendars after the pages you sync to iCal. Action items appear in iCals To Dos list. For action items with a due date, NoteBook optionally adds them to iCal as calendar events. A page synced with iCal displays an iCal Sticker next to its name.
Use iCals calendar list to hide or show a subset of your actions items. For example, uncheck the Due Today calendar to hide all of the items due today, or uncheck all calendars except Incomplete to see just your incomplete items. As you add or modify action items, NoteBook sends those changes to iCal. Any changes you make in iCal, however, wont appear in your NoteBook pages. The next time you sync iCal to your iPod, iCal will add your NoteBook action items to your iPods calendar.
Exporting To Do Items to Entourage

You can also export your to do items to Entourage - use NoteBooks preferences panel to set Entourage as your calendar application of choice. You can export to Entourage or iCal but not both.
Adding an iCal Alarm to a To Do Item

Choose Outline Action Item Add an iCal Alarm to add an iCal alarm to one of your to do items. Note that you must rst sync a pages action items to iCal before you can add an iCal alarm to any of its to do items.

Quickly Locating Information Using the Multidex

NoteBooks patented Multidex appears at the back of every Notebook and contains pages that make it easy to quickly locate information by what little you remember about it: a name, a number, the date you entered it.
Multidex Pages
The Multidex contains many dierent pages, each providing a dierent view of the contents of a Notebook. There are Multidex pages for text, dates and other attributes.
The Text page lists all of the words in use within the Notebook. Click a letter to jump to the words that begin with that letter on the page. Clicking a word expands it to show the notes that contain it and where. Clicking a bullet jumps you to the notes page and selects it.
By default, NoteBook collapses each note to just the first line of text containing the word. Use the Multidex Page Options Sticker to view matching notes in their entirety.
Each Notebooks Multidex contains the following pages:

n n n n n n n n n n
Text all of the words within the Notebook Capitalized Words all of the capitalized words within the Notebook Numbers all numbers within the Notebook Internet Addresses all e-mail addresses and URLs within the Notebook Highlighting each highlighter used within the Notebook and the notes that use it Keywords the Keywords used within the Notebook and the notes that use them Stickers the Stickers used within the Notebook and the notes that use them To Do Items the notes with to do checkboxes Attachments the types of attachments within the Notebook and the notes that contain them Discarded Attachments the attachments that do not appear in any note but still reside within the Notebook

Creation Dates the dates on which notes were added to the Notebook and the notes that were added Change Dates the date on which notes were changed in the Notebook and the notes that were changed Due Dates the due dates assigned to notes in the Notebook and the notes that have due dates assigned
Precise Searches Using Super-Find

NoteBook support regular nd (Edit Find Find), but it also includes Super-Find. With Super-Find, NoteBook uses all of the Multidex pages to locate information very precisely. For example, if you know that a note was added after a particular date, and has a particular Keyword attached to it, you can use the SuperFind panel to see just those notes added after that date and with that Keyword.
Searching Using Super-Find

Choose Edit Find Super Find to search for notes with certain words and/or attributes. NoteBook displays the search results in the Index sections Super-Find Results page.
Use the Super-Find panel to search for cells with particular text, Keyword, Sticker, date, priority, action item status and highlighting settings. In the Keywords & Stickers section, command click items to create a multiple selection.

NoteBook 3.0
Advanced Text Searching with Super-Find

Enter several words in the Super-Find panels text eld to search for cells containing all of the words.
When you enter multiple words, NoteBook matches cells that contain them all. NoteBook also ignores word order, so a search for contact suppliers will also match cells with suppliers contact.
For more precise text searching, enclose the word or phrase in quotes. Enclosing words in quotes causes NoteBook to perform a brute-force literal search. Brute-force searches are less efficient than the normal indexed searches, but can match text strings more precisely.
Capitalizing a word within the quotes causes NoteBook to perform a case-sensitive literal search for that word. In this example, NoteBook will match cells containing Contact suppliers and Contact Suppliers but not contact suppliers.

Printing Pages in a Notebook

Printing Pages
Choose File Print to print pages from your Notebook.
By default NoteBook prints the current Notebook page. You can set NoteBook to print all pages or a page range. If a Notebook page contains more information than can fit within a single printed page, NoteBook uses two or more pages to print it. The Print sheet contains options for including the Cover page in the printout, and customizing the layout, appearance, and how page numbers are printed. If youre running Tiger, choose NoteBook from the print options popup menu to see these options.
Setting Page Margins

Choose File Page Setup to set page margins. In the sheet that appears, choose NoteBook from the Settings popup menu, then Enter your new margin settings in NoteBooks custom page setup pane.
Exporting to PDF
To create a PDF version of a Notebook, choose File Print, then choose the Save as PDF option in the Print sheets PDF button.

Importing Files From Other Applications

Importing refers to the conversion of les created by other applications into NoteBook outlines and text. If you want to simply add a document to a Notebook, keeping it as a separate le that lives within a Notebook, just drag-and-drop the le onto a Notebook page.
Importing Files
Choose File Import to import documents created by other applications into a Notebook page. NoteBook imports the following le formats:
n n n n
.txt plain text .rtf/.rtfd rich text .doc Microsoft word processing format; NoteBook uses the .doc le reader built into OS X .opml Outline Processor Markup Language, a popular XML-based le format supported by many outlining applications
When importing, NoteBook recreates any outline structure it detects within the document: NoteBook converts each line of text ending in a Return character into a single cell. NoteBook also counts the number of tab characters at the start of each line and indents the cell that many times.
Importing NoteTaker Notebooks

If you have documents created by the old NoteTaker application, you can import them into NoteBook.
In NoteTaker, choose File Export NTML Export Notebook. In the panel that appears, turn off the option to generate separate page files, and choose NTML from the XSLT Transform popup. Clicking Save places the NTML output in the folder you specify in the Save As text field. In NoteBook, choose File Open and select the .xml file in the NTML output folder.

Sharing Pages and Notebooks

Sharing Pages Using Page Bundles
You can share pages with other NoteBook users by sending them a Page Bundle. A Page Bundle is a collection of pages copied from one of your Notebooks, along with all of their attachments, bundled up into a le that cannot be mangled by e-mail systems.
To create a Page Bundle, turn to the page you want to share, press the Option key to change the Notebooks title bar icon to a Page Bundle icon, then drag the Page Bundle icon from the title bar to a Mail or Finder window.
When another NoteBook user receives the Page Bundle, they can double-click it to open it, or drop the bundle on one of their Notebooks to add its pages to that Notebook. Page bundles have the le extension .nbpb, to distinguish them from regular NoteBook documents. They also have a dierent le icon.
Sharing Notebooks via E-mail

Because some e-mail systems mangle Notebooks, you should zip or stu them before including them in an e-mail message. For example, locate the Notebook you want to e-mail in the Finder, then choose File Compress to create a zipped version of the Notebook that you can then send in e-mail. Also, before e-mailing a Notebook you may want to reduce its size by removing any discarded attachments, using the Discarded Attachments Multidex page.
Exporting a Notebook to Other File Formats

Exporting to Other File Formats
Choose File Export to export a Notebook to one of the following le formats:
n n
.txt plain text, readable by text editors but does not preserve fonts or attachments .rtf/.rtfd rich text, readable by most text editors and preserves fonts and attachments (NoteBook uses the .rtfd le format if the exported pages contain attachments) .doc Microsoft word processing format, preserves fonts and attachments (except those in Media Frames) but is not readable by most applications; NoteBook uses the .doc le generator built into OS X .opml Outline Processor Markup Language, a popular XML-based le format supported by many outlining applications; it preserves the outline structure but not fonts and attachments .nbpb NoteBook Page Bundle, for sharing one or more pages with other NoteBook users .nbml NoteBook Markup Language, an XML-based le format that preserves fonts and attachments but is not readable by most applications

Publishing a Notebook as a Website

You can turn any Notebook into a website, which you can then share with other computer users.
Publishing a Notebook Website to Your Hard Disk

Choose File Export as a Website To Disk to display the website export sheet. By default, NoteBook places the Notebooks website components in the Sites folder in your home folder, in a folder with the Notebooks name. You can export all pages, a page range, or just the current page.
The web version looks and behaves like the original Notebook you can even still expand and collapse cells in the pages outline. If a page has attachments, NoteBook copies them all into the website export folder. Clicking the attachments icon displays or downloads the attachment. Whenever you change your Notebook you can update the website version by choosing File Export as a Website Export Changes.
NOTES: Web pages have no notion of a ruler, so there are no tab-stops in the Notebook web pages. If you use tabs to create columns within a Notebook page, web browsers will most-likely not display the columns correctly. If you assign a password to your Notebook, the web version will not be password-protected. NoteBook cannot generate web versions of a Notebooks Index pages.

NoteBook 3.0
Creating a Sidebar-style Website

You can set a Notebook to export as sidebar-style website, where the browser window opens onto two frames: a narrow sidebar frame on the left listing page names, and a main frame where each page gets displayed. Clicking on a link in the sidebar frame displays the selected page in the main frame.
In the Notebook section of the Export pane of the Actions Inspector (Window Inspector), choose Create a Sidebar. NoteBook builds the sidebar from the Notebooks Contents page. Typically the Contents pages fonts are too large for the sidebars narrow width, so NoteBook reduces their size by the percentage specified in the Export pane in the Inspector. NoteBook wont reduce any font to less than 11pt.
If you have one or more pages you dont want to appear in the sidebar you can use the Export Inspector pane to exclude them.
Notes About Lined Paper Styles and Other Page Backgrounds

Because of limitations in web pages, if a page has a lined paper style, only the left margin line carries over to its website version. In addition, if a page has a background image, that image only appears in the website if the image is tiled. The background image will not appear if its scaled or centered. You can use the Page Output section of the Export pane in the Actions Inspector (Window Inspector) to customize the look of exported pages. For example, you can choose not to export the page background or the page curl control.
Notes About Image Attachments and Their Thumbnails

If an attachment contains a PDF document, clicking the image thumbnail in the web page initiates a download of the original PDF document. If an attachment contains another type of image le, such as a PNG or JPEG, clicking the image thumbnail in the web page does nothing. You can change this behavior in the Website Export Thumbnail Image Settings sheet. To access the sheet, Control-click an attachment and choose Website Export Thumbnail Image Settings from the contextual menu that appears. In the sheet that appears you can specify what happens when the user clicks the attachments image in the website: open the original document, for example. For JPEG images, you can control the thumbnail images le size by setting its compression factor. This compression setting does not aect the original JPEG document, only the thumbnail.

Publishing a Notebook Website Using a CD

You can give users on other computers a copy of your Notebook website by storing it to a CD. Drag the website folder from its location on your computers hard drive to a blank CD, and then burn the CD. To view the website from the CD, double-click the index.html le within the website on the CD. You can view the Notebook website on any Mac, PC or Linux computer with a CD drive.
Publishing a Notebook to MobileMe or an FTP Account

When you choose File Export as a Website To Disk, NoteBook places the results on your computers hard drive. If you want to publish the results to the Internet, you must use a le transfer program to upload them to a web server. You can skip the hard drive step completely by publishing directly to your MobileMe account or an FTP or SFTP account. Choosing File Export as a Website To the Web creates a website from your Notebook and stores it directly into your MobileMe account or FTP or SFTP server. When you export to MobileMe, NoteBook places the results in the Sites folder of your MobileMe account. When exporting to FTP or SFTP, NoteBook asks for your account information and the export destination folder in your account. NoteBook creates a folder with the site name within the destination folder, and places the website in that new folder.

About NoteBooks Website Export
When exporting as a website, NoteBook creates a set of les and folders within the Notebooks export folder:
n n n n
attachments a folder containing the pages attachments images a folder containing supporting image les index.html the Notebooks rst exported page pages a folder containing each pages web le
85
NoteBook 3.0
Use the Export pane in NoteBooks Inspector (Window Inspector) to customize where NoteBook places these folders and les, and even the export process itself.
Choose a custom name for the pages web file. The export style popup lets you choose an export location style for the current page. Create new styles or use the default one. Each location style specifies the top-level export path, and the names of subfolders within the that path. If you set the export folder, NoteBook wont ask you for one at export time. Each subfolder is relative to the export path, but you can choose an absolute path. The Use cell text as contents option tells NoteBook to fill the pages web file with the text contents of the page.
Once youve chosen Use cell text as contents for a page, place the custom web code within the pages cells. Heres an example from the NoteBook Help Notebook:
During export, NoteBook fills the pages web file with this text. NoteBook ignores hidden cells a cells parent must be expanded for its text to be included.

Exporting Notes to Your iPod

You can export the text of any pages outline to your iPod. Your iPod must follow Apples notes specication, which Apple has not implemented on all iPods. For example, iPhones and iPod Touches do not support the notes specication.
Exporting to an iPod
Choose Page Sync Page to iPod to add a copy of a Notebook pages outline to your iPod.
NoteBook adds an iPod Sticker to synced pages.
NoteBook places synced pages in a NoteBook folder in your iPods Notes folder.
Choose a page from the list. Do not choose the {nbfiles} entry this is a collection of administrative files.
When you view a page, the first screen is a list of its top-level cells.
Selecting a cell displays that cells children, and so on.
When you change a synced page, NoteBook syncs those changes to your iPod after you save the changes. If your iPod isnt attached when you save changes to a synced page, thats OK NoteBook collects the changes until the next time you attach your iPod to your computer. But if NoteBook isnt running when you attach your iPod, the changes wont get transferred. NoteBook syncs pages to your iPod without the help of Apples iSync application. NoteBook syncs pages without the help of Apples iSync application.

NoteBook Says Someone Else is Using My Notebook?

Im getting the message that my Notebook appears to be open on another computer, but Im the only person with access to it. Whats happening?
When you open a Notebook, NoteBook saves a small lock le inside of it. If someone else opens that Notebook if it lives on a network disk, for example their copy of NoteBook sees the lock and tells them the Notebook is already open. Its important that NoteBook ag two people opening the same Notebook because the Notebook can become corrupted as each person saves their changes. When you close the Notebook, NoteBook removes the lock le. If NoteBook or your computer crashes while a Notebook is open, the lock le will still exist the next time you open that Notebook. NoteBook sees the lock le and thinks the Notebook is open on some other computer. Because its not really open anywhere else, its safe for you to choose Open to Make Changes.
Can I Install NoteBook on My Desktop and My Laptop?

You can install NoteBook on as many computers as you like, the only restriction is just one of those copies can run at one time.

11 Frequently Asked Questions
NoteBook 3.0
NoteBook Says My License File is Invalid?

If you see the message
NoteBook is having trouble nding a valid license le. Why might a license le become invalid? When you enter a license key, NoteBook saves it in a le in ~/Library/Application Support/NoteBook/Licenses. At launch time, NoteBook reads your license information from this le instead of asking you for it. A license le is unique and becomes invalid when copied. If you ever restore your home folder from a backup, for example, NoteBook may not accept the restored license le. Re-entering your original license key allows NoteBook to generate a new and valid license le. In the panel above, click Go to License Manager to view your licenses in the License Manager.
Click Delete to delete the invalid license file, then Add to re-enter your license key.
Be sure to enter your license key and not your license keys serial number. NoteBook wont accept the serial number in lieu of the license key.

How Can I Remove the Blank Lines NoteBook Has Added to My Cells?
Sometimes NoteBook adds blank lines to the cells on a page:
NoteBook adds blank lines when it determines theres not enough space to place each line of text on consecutive paper lines.
When a pages background contains paper lines, NoteBook aligns the text in each cell to the lines on the page. NoteBook inserts a blank line whenever it determines that a line of text wont t comfortably beneath the previous line of text. For example, if the pages line spacing is too narrow, text placed on consecutive lines would overlap without the extra space. By default, NoteBook sets the pages line spacing based on the font in the pages rst cell. If the rst cells font is smaller than the fonts in the cells that follow, NoteBook will add blank lines to those cells to avoid overlap. To remove the blank lines, you can either set the cells on the page to use the same font, or choose a dierent line spacing option in the Page Background Inspector (Window Inspector).
Can I Merge a Notebook Ive Changed on Two Different Computers?

It is not currently possible to merge the same Notebook, changed on two dierent computers, into a single document. For example, if you copy a Notebook from your desktop to your laptop and then change each copy separately, you cannot combine the two copies back into a single document.

If the application does not support contextual menu plug-ins, you can clip using NoteBooks Dock icon: copy the selection to the Clipboard, then Control- or right-click NoteBooks Dock icon and choose a Clipping Service from the Paste to menu.
How Can I Remove Old Clipping Services?

If Clipping Services appear for a Notebook that no longer exists, you can remove the old Clipping Services using the Clip pane of the Actions Inspector (Window Inspector).
Printing Why is Printed Text Smaller than Onscreen?

By default, NoteBook prints a page exactly as it appears onscreen, including how the text wraps. If you print a Notebook that has a very wide window, NoteBook has to scale the text in the printed output to maintain the same text wrapping. You can turn o this scaling in NoteBooks printing customization options. Choose File Print to reveal the Print sheet, then in NoteBooks custom printing section choose the Conform to selected paper size text wrapping option to disable scaling. If youre running Tiger, choose NoteBook from the Print sheets Options popup to see NoteBooks customization options.

Whats New in 3.0

Shapes, Sketches and Handwriting Recognition
n
NoteBook 3.0 includes the ability to add diagrams and sketches to Notebook pages. These shapes live in a layer that oats above each page. The toolbar includes an item that, when dragged out, creates a new shape that you can place on the page. Theres a range of shapes to choose from, with attributes like ll color, drop shadow, and stroke thickness that you can set using the Inspector. Theres also a toolbar item with a collection of lines you can use to connect shapes together, with attributes also set using the Inspector. Shapes can contain text, and shapes will appear in the Mutlidexs text pages under the words they contain. The toolbar also contains an Ink item that lets you set the mouse mode for drawing in the shape layer (note that this item is not in the default toolbar - you have to choose View Customize Toolbar to add it if you want it). Mouse mode lets you move shapes with the mouse or stylus. Sketch mode lets you draw with the mouse or stylus. When using a stylus, NoteBook varies the line thickness based on the pressure you apply to the tablet. If you have a tablet attached, you can also switch to Write mode, where the strokes you make using the stylus are converted to text using Apples InkWell handwriting recognition technology. At some point after you write, NoteBook asks InkWell to evaluate your strokes and shows you the best interpretation of what youve written. InkWell generally provides ten possible interpretations of handwriting - click an interpretation to see that list, or choose Edit to write a new one. When you choose Edit, NoteBook switches to write anywhere mode, which means you should just begin writing the new text anywhere on the screen, under which InkWell will place a yellow pad. By default, NoteBook always shows you how InkWell has interpreted what youve written - you can turn them o using the Ink toolbar item. The command View Shapes shows/hides the shape layer, and the command View Focus on Shapes lets you tell NoteBook you only want to work with items in the shape layer. You can add an attachment to the shape layer by holding down the Shift key while you drop it onto the page. The Ink toolbar item has a command for setting the pen color and width. There is a Shapes menu for adding shapes without using the toolbar.
n n
Outlining
n
When NoteBook 1.0 rst shipped, every page was an outline, and all content lived within outlines. With the addition of writing pages, shapes, and the like, outlines are no longer pervasive which makes commands like Paragraph Mode and Expand and Collapse odd entries in general menus like Edit and View. For this reason, a new Outline menu has been created that replaces the Cell menu and consolidates all outline-related functionality. Also, the default page is called a Note page rather than an Outlining page. Note pages start o completely empty except for their name. To start creating an outline, press Return. You can also doubleclick anywhere to place a note at that spot. You can now set cell numbering on a per-cell (and descendants) basis. There is no longer the concept of a page-wide outlining style - when opening a 2.1 Notebook in 3.0, NoteBook 3.0 will transfer each pages numbering settings to its cells. You can now set the line spacing of levels in an outline.
110
12 Version Info
NoteBook 3.0
There is now an option in preferences to have left/right arrow keys initiate editing rather than turn the page (those shortcuts become Option-Cmd Left/Right Arrow). The default line spacing option is now set to height of tallest cell, which should avoid the problem of unwanted extra lines after a font change, or the extra line problem that often occurs after pasting multi-font text from a web page The List Mode/Paragraph Mode default settings in preferences no longer apply just to new Notebooks. NoteBook no longer displays a List Mode indicator on the page. Pressing Shift-Return creates a new cell above the current one. You can now fully drag cells to copy or move them between pages and Notebooks. In 2.1 you could drag a cell to a Contents Card entry or a pages tab to deposit the cell on that page. Pressing Option while dragging now copies the cell to that page. Hovering over a tab or moving over a tab pressing the Space bar temporarily turns to that page, allowing you to precisely position the cell on the destination page. You can now add a new cell above the current one using the Outline New Cell Above command.
n n
Indexing
n
Multidex is now the new name for what was called the Index Section. Where an index page was once referred to as the Text Index page, it is now called the Text page within the Multidex. Pressing Option-Cmd while opening a Notebook forces a rebuild of its index. When using NoteBook on Leopard, NoteBook uses the Leopard tokenizer to locate words within a cell. This change should mean little for Western languages but will make a signicant dierence when indexing languages like Japanese where words are not separated by spaces. If you open a Tiger-indexed Notebook on Leopard, or if you open a Leopard-indexed Notebook on Tiger, NoteBook will force a reindex so that the platform-appropriate index is used. NoteBooks indexer has been reworked somewhat, to do a better job of locating numbers and to not break up special strings within the text that are combinations of text and numbers. NoteBook now indexes and presents all words within a Notebook. Previously NoteBook used a stop list to ignore common words like the and and, but as of NoteBook 3.0 the stop list concept has been abandoned. A stop list helps reduce the index size on disk, but thanks to another change in how NoteBook saves index information, the index les NoteBook 3.0 generates are 1/2 or less the size of NoteBook 2.1 index les, even without the stop list. The rst time you open an old Notebook in NoteBook 3.0, NoteBook will force a rebuild of its index.
n n
NoteBook and Spotlight

n
All of a Notebooks text now appears in Spotlight (subject to the 100k limit imposed by Spotlight on the amount of text it will index from one document). Previously only the words that appeared in a Notebooks Text Multidex page would appear in Spotlight, which meant words on the stop list did not appear. Also, if a Notebook has encrypted pages, all the text from the Notebook except for that on encrypted pages will appear. Previously if a Notebook included encrypted pages, none of its content appeared in Spotlight. When a Notebook opens as a result of a Spotlight search, NoteBook now initiates a Super-Find search on the Spotlight search terms to show you where the Notebook matched the Spotlight search.
12 Version Info
111
NoteBook 3.0
Working with Pages

n
You can now open a page in its own window, separate from the window of the Notebook that contains it. Opening a page in its own window is akin to temporarily pulling it out of the main Notebook, so while a page resides within its own window you cannot turn to it within the main Notebook window. Any changes you make to a page in its window are preserved when you save the Notebook or close the pages window. Option-clicking a page in a Divider page opens that page in another window. You can now prevent editing on any page within a Notebook.
n n
Clipping
n
You can now clip to Divider pages. Each time you clip to a Divider page, NoteBook adds a new page to the Divider to hold the clipping. When clipping to an Outlining page, NoteBook now places the clipping at the end of the page. There is now an Add Cell Clipping Service command in the cell contextual menu. You can now send a PDF version of a document directly into a Notebook using a Clipping Service. When printing in another application, the Print sheets PDF button now contains a Send PDF to NoteBook menu that lists your Clipping Services - choose one, and the Print sheet will send the PDF it generates for the document to that page in your Notebook.
n n n
Encryption and Password Protection

n
When you encrypt a page, NoteBook now requests the Notebooks password only when you turn to the page or otherwise need to access the encrypted pages data. When you turn to a Multidex page, export or print a Notebook with encrypted pages, NoteBook asks for the password to access the encrypted data - if you dont enter it, NoteBook restricts your access to just the unencrypted data. Once youve entered the password, NoteBook wont request it again until you cover the Notebook or close and reopen it.
Contents Card
n
The Contents Card has been redesigned, and now includes a proper scroll bar. It also includes a current page indicator and displays the page number of each item. When dragging cells to the Contents Card, you can now hover over a Divider page or press the Space key to expand the Divider within the Contents Card. If you hover over or press the Space key while positioned over an Outlining page, NoteBook turns to that page within the Notebook, allowing you to position the cells on that page. The Contents Card only appears with a Notebooks main window - it cannot be attached to the window of a page that youve opened in a separate window.
Sticky Notes and Flags

n
You can add Sticky Notes and Flags to your Notebook pages. The notes and ags can contain whatever text you like, and there are several dierent designs to choose from. To remove them, drag them away from the page (they will poof away). When you turn away from a page, its Sticky Notes disappear except for whatever portion sticks out beyond the Notebooks border - clicking a sticky takes you to the page its attached to. Sticky Notes do not appear when you print or export as a website, but they do appear in the Multidexs text pages, under the words they contain. Note that when you double-click in a Sticky Note to edit its text, you have to click back inside the Notebook window its attached to to end editing (or press Escape or Enter). While in edit mode its not possible to move the note.
112
12 Version Info
NoteBook 3.0
You can attach a Sticky Flag (the skinny stickies) to any cell in the Notebook. To do this, hold down the Option key while dragging the Sticky Flag - a small arrow will appear, and NoteBook will highlight the cell the ag is attached to. To unattach it, drag and press and release the Option key. The View Stickies and Flags command hides/shows sticky notes and ags (this is a Notebook-wide setting).
Attachments
n
On Leopard you can tell NoteBook to QuickLook (using the contextual menu or the Quick Look command in the Outline menu) an attachment, which will cause the attachment to appear in the standard Quick Look viewer. You can now move les into a Notebook. Previously the only le operation options were copy and link. Pressing Command while dragging to a page adds the le(s) to the page and moves the original(s) to the Trash. Note that you should only opt to move les when dragging from the Finder. NoteBook cannot know the drag source application, so if you drag an attachment from Mail, say, NoteBook will proceed with the move, leaving Mail confused about the location of the attachment.
Printing
n
The default print settings are now closer to what you might really intend when you print (i.e. no page border or paper lines, narrower margins), and should allow you to really feel like youre positioning text and shapes on a real piece of paper. For example, if you add a rectangle shape and position it along the pages left margin such that part of the shape is not visible, you will get nearly that same positioning when you print the page.
New Toobar
n
NoteBook 3.0 includes a new toolbar that has been redesigned to resemble a ruler at the top of the page, and incorporates the standard text ruler. It includes larger icons (a frequent request). There are two background styles: plastic (you can set the color in preferences) and wood grain. You can also reduce the size of the toolbar by Cmd-clicking the toolbar lozenge (the control located in the window titlebars upper right corner). The toolbar includes a search eld which searches the current page. Note that the small Inspector i button is no longer present in the lower-right corner of the Notebook window. If you want a button that brings up the Inspector, add the Inspector toolbar item to your toolbar.
n n
Redesigned Inspector
n
The Inspector panel has been redesigned. It is now 25% narrower, and resizes vertically as needed, both to conserve screen real estate. You can now make changes to multiple cells, attachments or shapes at once (not just one-at-a-time).
Cell Dates
n
The View menu contains an option to view both dates and times when viewing cell dates (Creation, Change, Due). NoteBook has always stored times with cell dates, so all cells in existing Notebooks can display their dates and times. In the Inspector you can now modify Creation and Change dates. With multiple cells selected, these changes will apply to all of the selected cells.
12 Version Info
113
NoteBook 3.0
Miscellaneous Changes
n n n
Cmd-click opens links in the background. NoteBook will now speak the text in the selected cells. There is an Outline Add Keyword command which lets you assign a keyword to a cell without using the Keywords Inspector. When you choose it, a combo box appears in the Keywords column in the same row as the selected cell, which you can use to choose an existing Keyword or create and add a new one. You can also double-click in a cells Keyword space to make the combo box appear. When you click in a cells date area in the due date column, a calendar button appears which brings up a graphical time/date control for setting the date. When you open a Notebook, NoteBook now preserves the modication date (previously that date would change to whenever you opened the Notebook as a result of NoteBook writing the lock le). You can now set NoteBook to hide completed cells, which it will do once per day. When parent cells are set to display the soonest or latest date of their children, NoteBook now ignores completed children. NoteBook now preserves Finder Spotlight comments for documents dragged into Notebooks documents. With web export, the le format for transparent images is now PNG instead of GIF. When NoteBook was rst released, there were many Windows computers that could not properly render transparent PNGs but 5-years later the problem should be rare. Transparent PNGS look much better than transparent GIFs. The Voice Annotation panel lets you set values for metadata such as the recordings title, which will appear when exported to iTunes. When running NoteBook from the Desktop, Downloads folder, CD or .dmg, NoteBook oers to install itself in your Applications folder on quit. The way NoteBook draws highlighting has changed slightly. Its not hyper-realistic as you see in Leopard Mail notes as this proved to be too distracting, but it is nicer than 2.1 highlighting. Added a little more space at the bottom of the page so that when youre typing at the very bottom youre not typing right up against the page border. Theres now an option to have NoteBook strike-through action items when they are completed. The built-in due date sort now sorts ascending by default (so that the oldest incomplete items appear at the top). Added a heavily-requested 3-ring binder option. You can now associate a name with each highlighter color. On Leopard you can take a picture using the built-in iSight camera and have that picture inserted into the current Notebook page.
