DELETING DATA
When you perform a delete within Writers Project Organizer, only the data inside the program’s database, or the data’s reference, are deleted. Any files on your hard drive or any other storage media will not be deleted.
MESSAGES
To limit intrusions on your workflow, many of the messageboxes in previous versions have been eliminated. The messages now display in the status bar at the bottom of the window you are working in.
The DATA GRID
New to version 3.0 is the data grid. You can enter data direct into the grid. To do so, click on one of the cells within the grid and enter your data. You can also activate the cell for editing by pushing the F2 key. Some cells are read only. These cells are not highlighted when you click on them. As a rule of thumb, all cells that highlight after being clicked on are able to accept data.
Most data grid cells accept 255 characters. Those accepting dates or numbers are restricted to proper formatting. For date fields in a data grid, enter the date in the short date format. For numbers, enter numbers without using commas or decimal points. Writers Project Organizer will then format your data.
In the image above, the first row of the data grid is selected. The cell with the word 'address' is read only. Notice it is not highlighted. The cell that is highlighted accepts data; in this case it accepts 255 characters.
TEXT FIELDS.
In the larger text fields you can enter up to 30,000 characters. For larger documents or data, you can save it to a file, such as a Word document, and then link to it from within the program.
The smaller text fields hold up to 255 characters. Where you see RTF Note fields, 5000 characters can be entered and save to the database. RTF stands for Rich Text Formatting.
PRINTING is supported by saving the data to an RTF file. The file will then open, and you can format it to your liking before printing it out. For most users it will open in MS Word. If MS Word is not on your machine, Writers Project Organizer will use your default text editor.
