Chapter by Chapter

The ultimate companion to Microsoft Word for novel writers

The "Note" tab is a plain text area to type notes belonging to each chapter. As you guessed, the "Card" tab is a read-only area which is linked to a SuperNoteCard file ! Here is how to use this feature of CbC:

1) check that the name of each chapter is the same than the name of each card, this is how CbC makes the link between chapters and cards. Other cards will be ignored by CbC, and chapters without belonging cards in the SuperNoteCard file won't display anything in the "Card" tab.

2) in SuperNoteCard, export your project to a XML file (menu file > export > export to XML). I recommend you to export it in your book folder (where all your chapters are).

3) in CbC, right-click on the book item (the very first on the top) and select "info" in the menu. a dialog box appears with a text entry named "SuperNoteCard File", click on the "..." button and select the previously exported XML file, and click OK.

4) when you change your cards in SuperNoteCard (add new ones, change the content, etc), simply export again the XML file (overwrite) and the views in CbC will be updated.
