I think OmniOutliner is the solution for my problem, but I'm not exactly sure just how....
So what I really want to do is to create a series of similar pages for a number of species.
I right now have a FileMaker database with species sorted under Family and Higher Group. It has about 500 species in it. The final OmniOutliner document will prob. have 1,000 - 3,000 species in it.
What I want to do is to create a file that has, let's say these columns
Taxon.................................Other names..............Notes............Photos
Mammals
...Sciuridae
......Sciurus
.........Sciurus carolinensis...Eastern Gray Squirrel..Forests.........<an image>
[Sorry about the dots, but the web site eats multiple space and converts them to one space.]
And add other data as necessary (like range maps, etc.)
But what eludes me right now are
1) How do I get the structured data from FileMaker to OmniOutliner?
2) How do I format the photos so I can print this and take it with me into the field?
3) Does OmniOutliner have any way of tagging rows so I can easily see "Endemic Species", "Introduced Species", etc? Or do I just use the search facility for this (with some unique identifiers)?
Any other ideas would be appreciated if anyone has tried to do something similar.
TIA
