How is Z-Write different from IdeaKeeper or Nisus MailKeeper?
IdeaKeeper and MailKeeper are interesting applications, but they are databases, not word processors. They’re also complicated to learn, though very powerful. Some Z-Write users like using one of those in conjunction with Z-Write (each for a different purpose). IdeaKeeper/MailKeeper serve as great places to store thousands of unrelated pieces of text, URLs, etc., while Z-Write is ideal for a single writing project, where the Sections are all related to the same subject. Even more significant, Z-Write lets you recombine your Sections into a long document when you print or export. Programs like IdeaKeeper don’t let you do that. In fact, because of their hyper-linked nature, IdeaKeeper documents aren’t really convertible into any other format: they’re stuck in database form. Z-Write supports flexible text exporting, including formats like RTF and HTML.
