For a quick insight into the options available for an open Notebook, select any folder or page and open the right click menu.
Open will open the page you have selected for editing in the word processor. If you had selected a folder, it would open the folder so you could see all the pages within that folder. Double clicking on the page or pressing the Enter shortcut key will have the same effect.

Add Page allows you to add a new page. The page will be created within whichever folder you are currently working. If you had selected free space before adding a page, the page will be loose within the notebook. You simply type in the name of the page and the new page will open immediately for writing. You cannot have two pages with the same name in the same folder, but you can have pages with the same name within different folders.
Add Folder allows you to create a new folder. The new folder can be created at the first level within the notebook itself, like "Characters" or "Chapters" in the example above, or it can be created within another folder. The "Old ideas" folder is an example of this.
Password Protect will encrypt the page you have selected using the latest AES encryption codes. All password protected pages are encrypted with the same password, which you can easily set or change by selecting the Change Password option on the Tools menu.
Remove Password will remove the encryption that protects the page. This page will then be stored as a basic Rich Text File (RTF) which can be opened and read by any word processor. Remember, pages without password protection are not encrypted.
Folder Word Count gives a total word count for ALL pages in the specified folder.
Merge Pages opens the Merge Page dialog, where you can select which pages to merge together and in which order.
Delete and Rename are self explanatory.
Jump will move the focus to the notebooks list.
Sort will re-sort all folders and pages in the notebook alphabetically.
Undo Last Delete will restore the previous deleted page, folder, or notebook
Cut, Copy and Paste are designed to allow you to easily manipulate folders and pages and move them around. Whatever you are working on today or this week may not be so important in a few months, so you may wish to move these folders or pages into an "Old" folder out of the way. By doing this you can still access them any time if you need to, but they will not have a prominent position in the notebook. Similarly, you may decide to move folders or chapters into a separate Archive or 'Old' notebook.
To move folders or pages, select whichever you wish to move and chose Cut from the right click menu. You can see how the icons have changed to a greyed out colour.

You should now select where you wish to move the pages or folders and choose the Paste option from the menu. All the selected folders and pages will be moved to the new location. Should you wish to move the folders or pages to another notebook, follow the above steps but open the right click menu in the notebooks list and select the Paste option.
Copying and pasting works in a similar way, only the pages and folders you are moving are copied rather than moved.

Tip: To make a quick copy of a single page, select the page and chose Copy and Paste one after the other. This will create a new page with a similar name to the old one side by side. "Summary" and "Summary(2)" is an example of this. This is particularly useful if you are writing a new page very similar to another, and you do not wish to copy and paste blocks of text from the old page.
Cut and Copy is also the method used to mark folders or pages for archiving or export. The Make Archive of Selected and Export Selected options on the Tools menu will only be available if some folders or pages have been selected in this way in the Notebook.
The Deselect all option will undo any selections you have made. This is useful if you selected the wrong folders and pages by mistake and wish to start over.
How many times have you deleted something by mistake? It happens to all of us and no software can prevent you from doing it. All that can be done is to make it as easy as possible to recover from the situation. Searching and rolling back to archives allow you to undo such a mistake from many weeks or months ago, but to undo a very recent delete, you should first try the Undo Last Delete option on the right click menu.
This will undo the last delete of a folder or page that you made. It can be performed immediately or many hours or days later. Just remember, only the last delete is stored in this way, so if you have performed many deletions, you will need to search the archive to recover all pages that were deleted.
It is always a good idea to make an archive before you do major structural work in the notebooks like deleting many folders and pages. Simply go to the Tools menu and select Make Full Archive.
