What is EZNote?
Have you ever needed to jot down a note quickly and be able to easily find it later?  Ever wanted to copy a selection of text while web browsing for later reading without copying and pasting between applications or saving the text to a file?  EZNote can do these things and more at the touch of a key (which will instantly bring up a text editor) without having to leave the application you are in!

Of course, you'll be able to hit another key at any time that will bring up a list of all your notes, which you can edit, delete, search, replace, print and move from category to category (create as many categories as you like) with ease!  EZNote lets you do all standard text editing including changing fonts, styles, sizes, etc.  Another extremely handy feature allows you to select text from any note and have EZNote automatically paste the text directly into any text document you are working on.

Some uses for EZNote:
* bring up a text editor instantly with one key press!
* quickly edit text on the clipboard (edit, change it to all uppercase or lowercase, remove line feeds, etc.)
* copy selected text from any application with one key stroke and store it for later reading or editing
* keep an on-line journal of daily activities
* keep a To Do list
* keep commonly used text clippings to be able to paste into any application
* grab a note or selection of text from any category without having to leave the application you're in with a keystroke!
* maintain a simple and easy to access address book and phone number list
* Collect and organize the information from those scattered text document and clipping files
* Want to add on-line help to an application that doesn’t already have it?  If an application does not have on-line help but does have help in the form of text files, you can drop those text file(s) into a category folder (see the Categories chapter below) and use EZNote as on-line help for that application! :-)
