How WRITER'S BLOCKS Works
We all
know it is far more effective to organize a document's information
before we actually begin to write. But programs that only display information in a linear fashion provide
little support to the organization process.
Writer's
Blocks' unique design - part word processor, part spreadsheet - solves
this dilemma. The program manages information in a series of sizable
blocks that can be arranged in columns representing separate topics.
When compared to traditional word processors, Writer's Blocks allows
you to more quickly capture, visually organize, and evaluate far more
information, both under a given category (down), and in different
categories (across). Whether you write complex documents or just work
with large amounts of related text information, Writer's Blocks will
revolutionize the way you work!
Enhance Your Productivity
Simply
put, a Writer's Block is a container that holds text. Each block can
be used to enter an idea, scene, point, etc. Like using electronic
note cards, Writers Blocks allows you to easily and efficiently
manipulate ideas. Unlike ordinary paper note cards, Writers Blocks
lets you easily edit, arrange, re-number, and print your blocks.
Organization Made Easy

Blocks will help you develop and organize your ideas faster than ever

or 3X5 cards in block setting.
