Advanced Word Processor

A progam that allows individual tagging of single words in a document?

I use google docs for my creative writing. Much of that includes compiling large word lists, to keep these lists in good order and have the right word at hand when I need it, I'm looking for a word processing program/suite/online app/browser add on, an anything! that will allow me to quickly filter through these lists.

For example: I create a list of 500 fruits in a document, with this program I should be able to tag the words in that list with terms such as "white" "small" "round" "yellow" "sweet" "bitter" "berry" "tree" "bush" "bird" etc. Now, when I need to find a small, white, berry birds eat, I can filter the list with tags and highlight for instance mistletoe from the other 499.

I've googled everything I could think of, without joy, so I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks guys

hi moop, and welcome to sevenforums,

it seems like you need to use a database, rather than a word processor.

word processors are really designed to produce printable documents, not fancy searching/filtering stuff.

i'm afraid i'm not sure exactly how you would do it, having very little database experience. i suppose you could bodge something up with a spreadsheet, but a database really is the tool here.

openoffice.org provide a well respected database as part of their free office suite. probably a good place to start, without having to spend any money.

i'm sure other forum members will be along shortly with other ideas or more help.

Hey Mickey,

Thanks for the quick reply, I think your right a database looks like the way to go. I'm downloading OOO as I type, and having a look at some of the tutorials of youtube.

have fun!

Thanks Kado, does anyone have any thoughts about which would be best DB VS SS? I'm looking for the simplest solution, even if I have to give up a little functionality.

Thanks for checking that out for me Kado, yes it looks as if a DB is the way to go, I'm in the middle of reading http://bit.ly/hGiqet, funny enough is starts with how to make a DB for Authors, and books, bit of a learning trying to get my head around cardinality and opitonality, but it long run I should get a much better result. Any OOO base experts more than welcome to chip in

Thanks guys
