Regain Control Of The Pieces Of Your Writing Projects

(November 11, 2002 -- Lelystad, The Netherlands) -- You
wrote the perfect opening sentence to your Great American
Novel on the back of receipt while you were at the coffee
shop.  Now the receipt is gone, and so is your memory of its
exact wording.

This historical book you're writing about your hometown's
shady dealings during Prohibition is spawning pages of
notes. You're terrified of losing even one page, and are
concerned you won't find what you need when you start
writing.

The drafts of your epic poems are clogging up your hard
drive with space-hogging, slow-loading files.  You wish you
could keep them together differently, switching back and
forth between drafts without taxing your computer's memory
in the process.

Just finished your new masterpiece. You have tried various
publishers without much luck. You believe in your creation
and considering mass distribution by yourself. Conventional
print and distribution cost is prohibitive. The idea of
publishing your creation as an eBook and distributing
through the Internet looks teasing but you don't have the
right software application to do the job quickly and
efficiently.

Enter TexNotes 3.0, a handy text editor notes organizer and
document publisher developed by GemX. A handy tool
with all the ease-of-use that writers need and without all
the overhead in effort and time that they don't, TexNotes
uses a notebook structure that lets you create layers of
notebooks with unlimited pages of notes. The program offers
a full range of tools that let writers create, store, edit,
format, publish it and organize the information that they
need to keep track of. Whether it's the name and phone
number of a possible interview source or an entire draft of
a chapter, TexNotes can store whatever you need it to store
for you.

The program offers users a wide range of features, too
numerous to mention here. Some of the features that are sure
to appeal to writers include the ability to:

highlight text with note pages
keyboard friendly with many commands available with shortcut
keys
integrated Rogets Thesaurus for instant alternative word
lookup
customizable spell check with over 30 languages available,
including technical and medical terms
use the fonts on your system and format them with attributes
such as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and color
construct tables with a high degree of customization
easily store and retrieve bookmarks to specific notes makes
navigation fast and efficient

accessed by an automatic contents list

items, tasks in progress, ideas, drafts, and so on
format paragraphs with custom indentation, spacing, borders
and background coloring
insert date/time stamps and separator lines to demarcate
related information within a single note page
drag-and-drop notes and notebooks to organize them within a
single file or between several files
import Microsoft Word, HTML, plain text, and rich text
format (RTF) files as note pages into a notebook
export notes to HTML, RTF, plain text or GemX eBook files
print one or more notes at a time with a single Print
command

a note-by-note, file-by-file basis or as global defaults

events
assign alarms and sound files to your reminders so that they
really get your attention 

On a larger scale, TexNotes not only reduces the clutter of
sticky notes and notebooks that often litter a writer's
desk, it also reduces the amount of paper and ink that
eventually winds up in our landfills -- an important
consideration for those concerned about the depletion of our
natural resources. For the especially cost-conscious writer,
the program also can reduce home office expenditures for
pens, paper, and printer ink cartridges.

For registered users, TexNotes offers complete documentation
and e-mail based technical support.  A trial version of the
program can be downloaded from the company's Web site at
http://www.gemx.com; a full, registered version costs just
$34.95. 

The program is compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/NT5/2000/XP
systems, and Internet Explorer 4.0 or newer (for viewing the
help files). System requirements include a 486-DX2/DX4 or
faster Pentium-compatible system, 32MB RAM, 3MB available
hard drive space for program files, True Color or HiColor
