Also, how many of these "Write About Topic X" do***ents do you have? You
could easily put 5-6 do***ents on the Work menu in Word, so that they
are always easily accessible, and just enter the ideas in the right
do***ent in the first place. Hitting cmd-~ to switch to the right
do***ent shouldn't be any more trouble than typing a heading. (Beyond a
certain number of lists, this might get annoying or confusing)
I'm a novice scripter so not the best judge, but I don't think the
script you describe would be easy to write (and I think the RIGHT AWAY
part would not be feasible), and it would require you to be absolutely
consistent in some ways that might get annoying. Eg. if the do***ent is
named "Ideas about Sailors" and your heading was "Sailor Idea", the
script might fail, although a human, or a search on "Sailor" in one of
the alternate programs I recommended, would connect those two things
with no problem.

> As a creative person I usually think of different ideas just one after

on every kind of piece of paper I can find wherever I happen to be. Soon
then I will have "a collection". Then I start up my iMac and open a new
Word text do***ent and type down what I wrote by hand. (I know that there
are small hand computers etc. which can be linked to my desktop computer,
but somehow I prefer the good old ballpoint). And now it comes... I give a
heading (name) to every idea I type down. Sometimes more than one heading
too. These headings correspond with equally named text do***ents in which I
would like to "store" them (for composing texts about that subject later
on). Is there a way that I can automate my different ideas landing RIGHT
AWAY in the right do***ent?
