Text indenting, multiple levels

[HWK]

Hello!
First off I'd like to comment on the usefulness of your product; I've been using the free version for several months, and purchased the Delux editition recently. Prviosuely I was using Tolon Notekeeper, a nearly perfect product, but I chose AllMyNotes for the availablitity of langanges (as I'm working with others that don't master the english language.)

A feature that I was already missing in the free version is still not available in the delux-edition: Text indenting.

What I mean by this is very much much akin to MS Word: There you can indent text several levels, and always have a left hand boundary down the lines, i.e. every line starts at the same distance from the left hand border, per indentation. This should also be the standard with bulleted or numbered lists. (On linewraps, now every additional line starts at the most left-side boundary rather then that given by the bullet/number). This should also be so in case of importing rtf-files (from Word or other text processors) and exporting.

This would - in my opinion - make AllMyNotes even more useful, especially if notes exported to word processors were properly formatted at the target.

Thanks a lot for caring!

Vlad,

I agree with HWK (Helmut): this would be an excellent improvement!

Thanks a lot!

Vlad,
I also expect this feature to be added.
Thanks

I'd like it as well, but some things just don't come easily around here See also related posts at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16, and viewtopic.php?f=10&t=371.

I would like this also, it is hard to read tables with text up against border.

The Following was created in the editor of AMN:
How to created nested lists, see example
• Create a list of items
• Choose which line(s) you want to indent
• In Main Menu Select EDIT > ADVANCED > TABIFY SELECTED LINES
• Example
• This is an example of a nested Bulleted list
• This is second item in nested list
• This is now a third level
• This is second item in third level
• To get back to this level or the previous level: In Main Menu Select EDIT > ADVANCED > UNTABIFY SELECTED LINES

If possible I would like to see an option to indent in the editor's toolbar. That would make it a little easier to use.

My original post does not reflect an example of the nested indents because the post is in html. If you follow the steps, the indents will work in the AMN Editor. I use it all the time. Sorry for any confusion.

Hello,

Yes, good demand, the multiple indenting, but also aligning the lines in a list,
and also, a possibility to transfer the important data (meeting and reminders),
on a smartphon ANDROID !

I have tested AllMyNotes a while (I bought it one year ago) and I'm excited about the powerful, secure and flexible features of this program. Now I'm moving most of my (>1000) notes (including many attachments) from Evernote to AllMyNotes.

I have already migrated over 300 notes in the last time. Now I suddenly see that indented bullet lists are not longer indented when a text is longer than the width of the screen and wrapped to the next line. In the next line every text starts from the left border, completely ignoring the depth of the indention and so making long texts with severel levels of indentions very difficult to read

Is there a chance that the editor is able to fully support indentions in the future?

I'm new to AllMyNotes and just started to copy some notes over from OneNote 2010.
What I miss most is exactly this! Bulleted and numbered lists become hard to read without the indentation.
From the wording above it seems that has been o,k, in a previous version !?!

I will probably have to use tables with the numbers or bullets in the first row and the paragraph in the second. However, this is real hard work if you are porting dozens or even hundreds of notes.

Also, in the Options I would like a specification of a paragraph spacing. This would help a lot for longer text notes.

We never remover features, especially useful ones. If you'll send over to me a sample intended text in OneNote or Ms-Word formats (these two are totally same text formats), I'll look in to it and will try to improve AMN as time will allow to ease your work.

Did you get my samples?
Is it what you are looking for?

Yes, please sorry for a moment of silence from my end - I have to finish other tasks I'm working on, and, once done (hopefully very soon), will look into this issue.

[JBoyd333]

Yes, I agree. Indenting, and multiple levels from imported text would be a real asset.

[Franktic]

Please add me to the users wanting this feature. Multi level number and bullet lists are the only feature missing from an otherwise brilliant tool. Is this feature on your roadmap?

[edger]

I'm a bit disappointed!
I bought the new Deluxe version 3 (after I bought the Deluxe version of V2 two years ago), unfortunately without reading the list of changes and improvements carefully.
I hoped this problem to be solved meanwhile, but nothing happened. Also the new format painter does not copy the bullet style when formats get copied from a paragraph with round black filled bullets to a new paragraph: the bullets remain square outlined at the destination. Copying bullet lists from the Internet also replaces the bullet, while in V2 the bullets have been left unchanged.

All those new features, except smooth scrolling and autocorrect, are nice but do not improve usability for me.

Hi,

Just started using this software, and love it. Especially the ability to copy/paste web pages.

I would also very much enjoy having better auto-indenting done. Cherrytree does a great job with this. see here http: //www.giuspen.com/topic/lists-multi-level/ .

Basically tab on new line indents and then auto-indents subsequent lines, shit-tab does opposite. Also changes bulleting if turned on, and have seen others that change type of numbering also.

Hope this make sense, can give better examples if needed.

Thanks for your time and great program!!!

One more vote for indents, like on Gmail, AOL mail, Yahoo mail, Microsoft (Outlook.com) mail. They all have two icons to increase and decrease indent, showing right and left arrows next to lines representing text.

For indenting, everything selected up to the last newline gets indented. The simplest example, selecting only a single line (or list item) for indenting: if the line wraps in the AMN window, the wrapped part is also indented.

Thanks for considering. (I'm guessing this must not be a simple fix with the way AMN has been constructed.)

May I just add a word ...

Like Helmut, I have long wished for the ability to indent (and outdent) selected lines. Until I read through this thread, I had no idea that you can do it with EDIT > ADVANCED > TABIFY SELECTED LINES. So thanks for pointing that out. I have also discovered you can use TAB as a hotkey to indent, and SHIFT+TAB as a hotkey to outdent. Both very useful.

The icing on the cake would be a button on the editor toolbar. Any chance of that?
