distance between lines

My default font in MyInfo, Georgia, is very legible (that's why I chose it), but it seems to need more leading -- more space between lines -- especially when I have MyInfo open on a wide monitor. Would it be possible to make leading one of the selectable attributes in creating a paragraph style?

Clay, good suggestion. Here are my two messages from last month: It's wonderful that the power of the search box has now been extended (though I gather that the Boolean "or" is still not possible?), but to make the search even more powerful, it really ought to be coordinated with the tags....

I agree, but better yet -- as I've suggested in another thread

http://www.milenix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2735

-- it ought to be possible to integrate fully the tags and word searches.

Petko, then I hope you'll put this on the wish-list for the next version. A global search and replace is often very helpful in editing long, complex texts.

search and replace (scope)

I am trying to do a search and replace operation for an entire topic, and I find the instructions in the help file rather confusing. So far I have been unable to extend the search and replace beyond a single document. The help file speaks of "using the Tools > Find Text dialog," but in the...

Yes, an easily-seen word-count would be extremely helpful -- preferably for both the document and the topic. I'm using MyInfo to create the first draft of a book, and that's a piece of information I need at my fingertips all the time.

Sorry, I just reread your note, and I finally realized that it meant following the link in your original e-mail announcement of 4.2.

So now I have installed 4.21, and it is humming along nicely. Merry Christmas.

Petko, thanks for this speedy upgrade, but when I clicked your link, it took me to a web page offering only the trial version of 4.21. Where is the download for registered users?

P.S. -- Another way of achieving this (searching for tags and words/phrases simultaneously) is to put the tags in a column in the tree, as Evernote does. (That also simplifies the application of tags tremendously: you simply drag a tag into a note--or document, to use MyInfo-speak.) Then you could s...

Petko, yes, phrase search does seem to be case-sensitive. So now it works for me. Thanks very much. I did discover one small anomaly in doing more test searches. "John Smith" also turned up one document in my topic that contained John and Smith but not next to each other. I'm not sure why ...

Petko, I see now that the note I wrote yesterday was not entirely accurate, but I still have not been successful in doing phrase searches. I have typed John Smith into one of my documents. Then I did a search for "John Smith" and found nothing. Second, I did a search for 'John Smith' and f...

phrase searching

Petko, I've just downloaded the new version (4.2), and I'm delighted to have phrase searching at last; but it took me a few minutes to realize that there's an error in the help file. The example there is enclosed in double quotes, but I find that phrase searching works for me only with single quotes...

Petko, you're right. Thanks. I finally found the RTF option by digging through two more layers in the menus. Under "File name" I clicked on "Browse," and then I clicked on the drop-down menu for "Save as type." There at last I was able to select RTF. This works, but I d...

exporting to an RTF file

If I understand this correctly, MyInfo lets me export an entire topic to a single HTML file; and it is also possible to export individual documents to a series of RTF files. But is there no way of exporting the entire topic to an RTF file? If so, that's an annoying limitation. I'm writing a book in ...
