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!

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.
