Creating Content

This tutorial is all about NoteCase Pro document content.


 Create a new note            

1. Use the menu: Notes > Insert Note or press the "Insert" key on your keyboard. A new note is inserted into the current document, as a sibling of the selected note (or, if there is no note yet, as a new root note). You will be prompted to enter a title for it. Write a title for your new note, then click the "OK" button. You will see the new note on the left in the tree pane.

2. Fill the note with content: Click into the large note pane on the right and write or paste content into the note.

You can create as many notes as you want (exception: If you are using the Trial version of NoteCase Pro, the number of notes per document that can be saved is limited).

You can arrange the notes in one or more hierarchies either when creating them or later. Arranging during creation can be done by creating child notes. To create a new note as the child of the currently selected note, use Notes > Current Note > Insert Child Note or Tree Pane Context Menu > Insert Child Note.

In order to speed up content creation, you can avoid using the menu for note creation actions by using the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts.


 Formatting the note title        

With a growing number of notes in your document, you may like to emphasize some of the notes, or use formatting to visualize different kinds of notes.

While the tree pane has the focus, you can format the title of the selected note with the formatting functions of NoteCase Pro, using the menu Format and its entries, the formatting toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts, e.g. by default Ctrl-B for bold, Ctrl-I for italics, Ctrl-U for underlined.


 Formatting note content        

You can format note content, similarly as in every common word processing program. Select some text using the mouse or keyboard, then apply a format using the formatting functions of NoteCase Pro, using the menu Format and its entries, the formatting toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts, e.g. by default Ctrl-B for bold, Ctrl-I for italics, Ctrl-U for underlined.

Note that there are several features that help you with formatting, e.g. the "Style" features, that lets you preset often used formatting options and re-use them, as well as a format style copy / paste feature (check the options in the "Format" > "Style" menu).

And of course, usage of keyboard shortcuts may help greatly with quick formatting.
