CopyWrite is a project manager for writers of all kinds. Rather than Focus on formatting and layout, CopyWrite stands apart in its project-oriented approach. Word processors and page layout tools are good at what they do - formatting and layout - but they offer no help at all to a writer during the creative Process. In fact, the 'gee-whiz' features crammed into these tools do more to hinder writers, getting in the way of their work flow. Put simply, these tools constipate writers; CopyWrite is like a tasty bran muffin ... with extra bran.
Instant Information
CopyWrite's unique interface keeps the information you want front-and-center, and can hide the rest. Use the project browser to browse, organize, and manage the documents in your project. Its search and filtering controls help you find what you want in an instant. Type in a search string and CopyWrite lists the matching documents, filtering the rest. Click a category using the category filter controls and only documents in that category appear. Combine the two and with a few clicks and key-presses, for instance, and you can find all chapters containing the name "Bob". It's easy and it's instant - just what a writer needs when scrabbling for details on a whim.
Notable Differences
Before CopyWrite, you had two choices. Switch between two windows - your chapter and its notes - or place your notes right in your prose. Both approaches are clunky and decidedly un-Mac-like. CopyWrite's Notes Drawer keeps notes for each document where they belong - right beside the document to which they belong. Open your document and open the Notes Drawer and no matter where you are in your document, your notes stay put. It's a simple idea, yes, but a good one!
Change Is Good
Things change. When they do, it's important to make sure this change is reflected throughout your project. Names, places, things - they all have to be consistent. If you change it in one place, you must change it everywhere.
