Maple 7.14

Maple 7.14 is a useful document organizer  designed for creating your own hierarchical trees for storing information such as documents, notes, and images.

By selecting Add Node from the Tree menu you can create a new branch for your growing tree, which you can name or later rename. You can also create unlimited nodes and sub-nodes and assign any document to each node. Clicking on the Delete Children button will delete all child nodes of a selected node. Choosing Collapse All or Expand All will expand or collapse your tree. Documents can be loaded from file and saved in .rtf, .txt, .doc, .wri, or .html format. Maple supports rich text formatting as well as drag-and-drop.

Other options include complete control over text and tree appearance. Use any TrueType font installed on your system, control the font size and attributes (bold, italic, underscore, or strikethrough) Onscreen you can quickly increase or decrease text size, add super- or subscript text, and change the text alignment (flush left, centered, or flush right). You can also quickly create numbered or bulleted lists. You can also convert character sets from OEM to ANSI, and vice versa. Maple lets you create custom "styles" for your text - define a font, face, attributes, color, alignment, etc. - that lets you easily apply a style to specific text. Great for headers, captions, or entire paragraphs of text you need to distinctively separate.

Maple also has a built-in Spell Checker, and let you embed or link to objects and images. Other features include changing the case of text to all upper or lower, and Character Map, font preview in the font selection window so you get a quick peek at what a font looks like, and print preview.

A useful Preferences screen, accessible from the Tools menu, lets you minimize Maple to the system tray, activate an Autosave feature, and enable Delete Node confirmation so that you don't remove nodes by mistake.
