I’m hoping there will be a fix soon.SAN FRANCISCO, CA-Three years ago, the Omni Group decided to go " iPad or bust," delaying its Mac software releases in order to prioritize the iPad as a new platform for the company's well-loved software. I sent an email to their tech-support a couple of days ago, but haven’t heard back. > Maybe you would like to take a look atĪlthough their website claims Norfall is Vista compatable, it apparently doesn’t like Vista Pro (64 bit). > Maybe you would like to take a look at Normall Manager: Once again, it is a product of the ‘German School’ to me it seems like a cross between Sycon IDEA! (in terms of the outline organisation) and AskSam (in terms of importing the actual documents). Normfall Manager looks like a very powerful application I am surprised I’ve never seen it mentioned before (not even by the lawyers here, to which it is originally aimed). However, I have found InfoQube to be a massively complex programme that requires more practice than I have had time to give to date. On the other hand, I accept that InfoQube better handles the kind of tabulated data that lends itself to grids. Amode allows you to define custom work calendars, set hourly or daily rates per resource and establish start-to-start, finish-to-finish, start-to-finish and finish-to-start dependencies, within and between projects, something which I think InfoQube does not allow, with the exception of the last of the above dependencies. Secondly, because it has very robust project management tools and I have to spend much of my life in Gantt charts. Firstly, because of its ease of use: I reckon that anyone who has used a two-pane outliner, an electronic calendar and a Gantt-chart-producing project management package would feel at home in Amode within half an hour. I plumped for Amode (not necessarily to the exclusion of InfoQube) for various reasons. Regarding InfoQube, I agree with Jan Rifkinson that it is a massively capable programme, the development of which I am keeping a close eye on. Thanks also for the related threads that respondents have directed me towards. If I had at least a passing acquaintance with the software referenced by the first tranche of posts, the most recent ones have lifted the veil on a whole writing software ecosystem I had no knowledge of.

Unfortunately it doesn’t support clones (yet!) or I would be using it A LOT more. OmniOutliner Pro 3.x (on the Mac) supports exporting (paragraph) styles to Word. Maybe you would like to take a look at Normall Manager: Hierarchical outliner with the most complete writing tools?
