Journal organization and printing

Pflugerville, TX(Zone 8b)

I am trying to set up my journal in chonological order and in outline form. So for instance, I have set up a main category called 2004 Journal with a subcategory for each month. Within each month I have a subcategory for things like Soil and amendments, plantings, harvestings, general observations, etc. The only journal item stucture I can find is geared to a specific plant, but in some cases I have items that are not plants, such as Compost Pile, Fetilizing, Pruning, etc. and those are the labels I put in the Common name field. Now the problem I am having is trying to print a monthly summary of my journal. What I want to do is print everything with in the subcategory for a particular month. But since the month subcategory has no items directly in that subcategory, but rather only additional subcategories, I can't do it that way. When I print from the additional subcategories (e.g. Soil and amendments, plantings, etc.) I only get a list of the items in a given subcategory and not the comments I put in each of those items. I was hoping to be able to use this journal as a replacement to my hand written notes, but it seems the only way I can do that is to print each item separately, one per page. This takes longer than hand writing everything, not to mention wasting a lot of paper. Is there anyway I can view and print everything under a particular subcategory down to the lowest level (including all subcategories under that subcategory, all items, and all comments with in all items) as a single veiw and continuous print stream?

I don't believe there is a way to do so, PVille. The best I think you can come is to select Access All Items under the Main Menu on your Journal Home Page. But that does not give you the sub-entries under an entry (RID item).

Ok...I guess I will just make my monthly summary a single item so that I can print it.

The TODO list is my next hurdle. When I click on it, it says I have no entries and to use the journal menu on the right to set it up, but I have no journal menu on the right. How do I add items to my TODO list?

PVille - When you add a NEW entry under a Journal item you have the choice of coding that new entry as either 1) Status Update, 2) TODO Item, or 3) Action I Performed. When you select TODO item then those are the Journal items that come up under your TODO Item list when you click on it.

langbr....ah ok...I have to create the item first and then update it by added a new entry to it. I was trying to do it on the original creation of the item. Thanks.
