What is new in TExtract 11?

For latest news up to release 11.07 see whatsnew-latest.

These are the main changes in version 11:

  • A new project file format (.tpro) is used that has been designed for increased capacity and efficiency.
  • The PDF-to-text extraction procedure has been rebuilt. It supports the latest PDF specification for improved indexing and editing features.
  • When indexing a Word file (.docx) the project is self contained. After setting up the project the original .docx file is no longer needed.
  • A preference setting has been added to automatically handle references to endnotes and footnotes (use page references, annotate, exclude). In the ContextView panel see Extra. This also handles section numbering and paragraph IDs
  • When editing multiple indexes moving entries between indexes has been simplified. It is easy to temporarily move entries to a separate index for editing purposes. In the IndexView panel see menu item Extra > Multiple indexes.
  • Indexing on section numbers and paragraph IDs has been extended. TExtract now handles OUP-style paragraph IDs in the left margin.
  • The regular expression search feature has been extended. When using the Find > Find and add all command the search result is editable. Plus, it can be added as a separate index and edited separately.
  • In the IndexView panel the entry list now supports multiple selection, so you can accept, merge, move or delete a set of entries.
  • In ContextView, bold and italic text are displayed as such.
  • Index markup options have been improved. All markup information now resides in the format files, which are easy to edit.
  • Support for large monitors and high display resolution has been perfected.
  • The Help info has been updated and converted to convenient web help format.
  • The appearance has received a refresher. Plus you can choose a window style to match your desktop background.
  • Many minor improvements were made to further increase output quality, efficiency and user friendliness. For example, you can move a reference to another location. Activate the occurrence, use Ctrl + arrow keys to select the new location, then use Accept > Move reference (Ctrl + Shift + M).
Users upgrading from TExtract 10 please note these improvements to editing commands:
  • In the ContextView panel, to manually add a term from the text you can select text using Ctrl + arrow keys and press Space to accept, Shift + Space to accept all. First activating text using Ctrl + Enter is not needed.
  • By default, rejecting an occurrence rejects all occurrences of the entry on the page. See Preferences > ContextView > Reject this = reject all on this page.
  • When setting a manual range from the active occurrence to a new location you can skip setting the range beginning. By default, the active occurrence is used as the range beginning. Use Ctrl + arrow keys to select the word to end the range at, then press Accept > Set range > To this (Ctrl + ]).
  • In the IndexView panel the command to merge two entries now is Ctrl + Shift + vertical arrow. (Since the entry list now supports multiple selection, the original Shift + vertical arrow command now expands the entry selection set.)
  • In both panels Alt + vertical arrow now scrolls the display.

Note:

  • When opening a TExtract 10 project (.tprx) the project file is copied to TExtract 11 format (.tpro).
