|
| Major Enhancements:

|
| Hypertext links give you the ability to link any piece of text within an article's content to a file, Internet address, or even another article.
|
| You can import a list of keywords from a flat text file.
|
| Personal Knowbase now has limited support for Import Plug-Ins.

|
| Several New Features for Working with Articles:
|
|
|

|
| Paragraph formatting options have been added for numbered lists and text alignment.
|
| Both a creation date and a modification date are shown for each article in the Article Properties.
|
| Optionally, you can display a time for each article as well as the date. It can be shown in the Index Window, the Article Window, and the Article Properties.
|
| An Article Property forces an article's title to stay the same as the first line of the article's content.
|
| When exporting articles, there is an option to export each article to a separate file.
|
| When exporting articles to a text file, bulleted lists are simulated with bullet characters.

|
| Other Enhancements:
|

|
| The Catalog Window has been replaced by a command to hide or show the keywords columns in the Index Window.
|
| When you launch a file link, if the target file is not found, you have the option of searching for the file.
|
| You can change the background color for the Preview Pane.
|
| A preference lets you use larger toolbar buttons.
|
| The Formatting Toolbar now includes a Strikeout button.
|
| The Welcome screen now includes an option to select a recent file to open.
|
| An option has been added to the Compact command to revert a file to version 2.0 format.

|
|
| Note on Hidden Text from Older Converted Data Files:
|
|
|
| Personal Knowbase 2.x stored RTF hidden text but did not display it. This happened only if you imported RTF files which contained hidden text or copied it from another Windows application. As of version 3.0, PK will display the hidden text as if it was not hidden. Therefore, when you convert 2.x files into version 3.0, you may suddenly discover text which you could not previously see. This is now normal text and can be treated (or deleted) as such.
