5.0 out of 5 stars An essential writing tool, November 9, 2009

By 

Reader (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WhizFolders Organizer Pro (CD-ROM)

It is difficult to describe Whizfolders as it is such a versatile software that people probably use it in many different ways. I bought it originally to serve as a kind of wiki tool, so I can hyperlink my research notes to each other and also directly to relevant files on my hard drive, in order to build a central database for my writing project. Although it can accomplish those tasks perfectly well, I ended up using it mainly as a research tool and a drafting tool.

At the heart of it Whizfolders is a two-pane hierarchical outliner, so at its most basic level one can use it simply to brainstorm, capture ideas, reorganise them into an outline, and write the final text. Whizfolders provides all the tools from start to finish for the writing process (including the production of a hyperlinked e-book). I don't use it for all the writing steps (I still use another single-pane outliner for creating a clean final outline and I write the final document in Word), however for the interim steps Whizfolders has become an essential tool.

My work flow with Whizfolders goes like this. I capture notes from PDF files and websites by using Whizfolders' "Watch Clipboard" function, which pastes anything that is copied from elsewhere directly into a Whizfolders note. Within Whizfolders I can then add my comments, create new notes, develop my ideas further, until a large amount of structured information has been developed. This is where the hierarchical outliner becomes very helpful, as it is very easy to move the notes around, indent them, hyperlink them and collapse complex branches. I would particularly recommend Whizfolders to those working on large projects such as books or doctoral dissertations, as it allows you to build the overall structure and at the same time to drill down to specific details.

It is also a highly customizable software, as it lets you rearrange and simplify the toolbars and gives you a number of options regarding the windows where you want to do the editing work. It of course has all the editing capabilities of the usual word processor, however provides a lot more control over the logical structure of the document than Microsoft Word. All in all, I am very impressed with Whizfolders. I use it every day and I can't imagine how else I would be able to deal with the complexity of my writing project. It has become my central database for all my ideas.
