Main Window Chapter 1: Introduction 24 of 92
Chapter 2 Journals Journals are the containers for entries or other journals. You can create multiple journals to separate and/or group entries. Entire journals can be password protected and/or encrypted. The Journals pane gives a visual representation of your journals, entries and their relationship to each other. Journals have many of the same settings as entries. Entries can inherit settings, such as paper background color and blog server settings, from their parent journal.
Creating a Journal To create a new Journal: 1 From the Journal menu, select New Journal or click the New Journal button in the toolbar. A dialog appears. 2 Type a name for the new journal and then click OK or press Enter. 3 The new journal appears in the list within the journal pane. Note: A new entry is already created for you. A dialog appears. 4 Type a name for the new entry. See Making an Entry for more information.
Setting a Background Image 1 You can display a background image for each of your entries, just as you can specify an image to display as a background (wallpaper) on your Windows desktop. To display a background image for all entries in a journal, select the journal in the Journals pane and follow these steps: 1 From the Journal Menu, select Journal Paper Image. A window appears allowing you to select an image. 2 Select an image and click OK. A properties dialog appears.
Setting a Background Color You can set a solid, colored background for your journal entries.

Exporting a Journal WinJournal allows you to export your journals to many different file formats that can then be accessed by numerous applications. To export the contents of a journal, first click on that journal in the Journal Pane, then: 1 From the Journal menu, select Export... A dialog appears. 2 Type in a name for the file and designate where you would like the file to be saved. 3 Select the destination File type, then click Export. 1 Note: You can export Journals in WinJournal (.

By default, WinJournal is set to automatically backup your data on a daily basis. Change the interval at which WinJournal backs up your data by editing the settings in the Security tab in Preferences. Backup Preferences The backup file is stored by default here: My Documents\My Win Journals\WinJournal.
Chapter 3 Entries Entries are the separate writings within journals that can hold separate thoughts or idea topics. When you publish your writings to a blog, each entry corresponds with a post on your blog. When you podcast your entries, each entry makes up one episode. Another way of organizing your writings is defining entries by date, like a traditional diary.

You can convert a series of spaces to a single space or to a tab, remove links, attachments or conventional e-mail quotes, remove page breaks or styles, and sort lines of text.
Chapter 5 Working with Audio WinJournal includes built-in audio recording features that let you record audio, and attach audio recordings to an entry or a journal. WinJournal then allows you to publish that audio recording to your website - in MP3 audio (.mp3) format - in the form of a podcast. A podcast is like an audio blog that you can post to a website to share with others. Each audio entry you publish from WinJournal represents an episode in your podcast.

Once placing those files into your specified web server directory, the publishing capabilities of the web or RSS server determine whether and how that podcast is shared with others.
