Utilities for Added
Power

In addition to its basic functions, the Organizer also provides
a wide range of utilities and features to give you even greater
control over your information. This chapter introduces and
describes these features, which include text cutting, copying,

of these features on a daily basis. You can pick and choose
from among them to find the features that best suit your
current task and your own way of working.

Memo applications share the features explained in this
chapter, while exceptions are clearly noted.
