Embedded Web views: A working tool for writers, editors and researchers, Stories & Sources lets you put all a story's resources – text, Web information, other files – in one spot for easy access. The goal is to reduce jumping around from window to window. Your writing stays a click away at all times. Choose as many as four panes of Web or text material to view alongside your writing. Zoom to column and full-screen views.
Unlimited text fields: Store huge amounts of reference text. Search, view, print, share with collaborators.
Your work comes first: Access to lots of information at a glance is a double-edged sword. Everything happens in one window – your writing, Web sources, text files, external documents. It's easy to get distracted. We put your work at the top of the menu – Cmd-1 Mac/Ctl-1 Win.
Collaborate: Print and e-mail stories, text and files to others involved with this story. The program is primarily a tool for writing and research, not formatting, but you can format for print or PDF. Story exports are text-only.
Keep browser panes at hand
Custom search sources: The most widely used search sources are already defined, but, if you can parse a search from your favorite search engine, you can add it to the list of search options. Look up selected words from stories or text sources.
This is easier than it sounds. Usually you can simply do a search, copy the search string, then remove the search term. See for yourself in the free tryout version.
Save a productive query as a new Web source with just a click.
Build your own search sources
Document management: Bring your work together. Store or link to files that double-click open in the applications used to create them. Supports almost any file type: word processing, spreadsheet, PDF, sound, image, video.
