My Journal was developed to help you keep a journal with unlimited number of Sections. Each Section can be as long as you like. You can choose font, font size, style (bold, italic, underlined, color) on a letter by letter basis. Until you register you are limited to five Sections and printing is not supported. After registration these limitations are removed. This application is $10 shareware.
When My Journal is launched for the first time, you see the CSoM Registration Window. Click on the "Demo Mode" button to try the application. When you enter the Demo Mode, you see the above window. You can drag the bottom right corner to make this window larger or click on the (green) Maximize button at the top left of the window to fill the display.
The first step is to add a Section. Click on the "New" button to bring up the above window where you enter a Section name and click on the "OK" button.
The Section name is now displayed in the Sections List on the left and in the Selected Section field. Text has been entered into the large field on the right. The default style attributes are Arial font, font size 12, no Bold, no Italics, no Underline, and the text color is black. To change the text's attributes, select the text (drag across or double-click a word to select it, etc.) and change the desired attributes.
Above, the user has decided to use a different font, font size, and bold red text. If he likes this style, he can set this style to be the new Default Style by clicking on the "Set Default Style" button. Now, new Sections will use the new default style. If the user decides to change the name of the first Section from "Landscaping" to Landscaping - Phase I" he can edit the Selected Section name. The "Save As" button turns blue when the Section Name is changed, and he can click the "Save As" button to make the change.
Above, you see the name of the first Section in the Sections List has been updated.
Above, you see a new Section named "Lawn Service" has been added and the text has been set for Helvetica font with blue paragraph titles. You can bring up the first Section by clicking on that Section in the Sections List. To delete a section, click on the Section in the Sections List and click on the "Delete" button.
Above, you see that a third Section has been added and the text uses a variety of styles on a character by character basis. You can drag Section names up or down to change the order or click on the header (Section) at the top of the list to sort the Section names from a-z or z-a.
To print all text in a Section, click on the Section name in the Sections List, choose the Portrait orientation from the File > Page Setup and choose File > Print Selected Section. To print a portion of a Section's text, select the text, choose the Portrait orientation from the File > Page Setup, and choose File > Print Selected Section Text. My Journal's window size and position, Section names, texts and styles are saved between sessions.
