The Journal Newsletter
Introduction
Happy Halloween!
NaNoWriMo (www.nanowrimo.org) begins tomorrow. I won’t be participating this year (I’ll be focusing on The Journal’s next update), but all of you who are: Best of luck!
This month we have a couple new tips for customizing the entry tree display, and a new set of writing prompts.
Thank you for using DavidRM Software’s The Journal!
Tips & Tricks
TIP: Turning Off the Entry Time Stamp
If you don’t want to see the time stamp (of when the entry was created) in the entry tree, here is how you turn it off:
1. Right-click on the category tab and choose “Category Properties…”
2. Bring up the “Standard” tab.
3. Un-check the option: “Display date/time entry created”.
4. Click on “Done”.
TIP: Turning Off the Entry First Line Display
If you don’t want to see the first line of an entry displayed in your entry tree, here is how you turn that off:
1. Right-click on the category tab and choose “Category Properties…”
2. Bring up the “Standard” tab.
3. Un-check the option: “Display first line of entry in entry tree”.
4. Click on “Done”.
Writing Prompts
