Word add-in supporting posting to Dottext from Word
When I'm working, my usual mode of operation is to have a Word document open (typically Notebook.doc) in which I'll have several active entries. We rarely get to work on one thing at a time anymore, and that's reflected in my note taking.
To start a new entry, I hit a control-alt-A, and a macro inserts the start of an entry header at the end of the file. I complete the header by typing a comma separated list of categories and a short descriptive title; all in one paragraph; hit enter and start the body of the entry.
As I bounce between tasks, I'll edit the body of the corresponding entry and maybe the header as well.
Eventually the entry is done and it needs to be archived and optionally posted to a blog.
I archive each entry as an ordinary Word document in a tree of folders on my laptop. This is my primary repository since it is secure, accessible off-line and can handle rich content. The search function of Windows Explorer is also useful for finding old entries.
If the entry is suitable for posting to a blog, I add the name of the blog to the header and it gets posted at the same time.
This is the first real entry made this way, I'll be adding more information and sharing the implementation once it gets more fully baked.
