090801 - Follow up ref SDS 12 0000, ref SDS 15 0000.
090802 -
090803 - Changed justify (Alt F9) to add custom anchors and adjust the format
090804 - for an anchor within or above a paragraph, and to foregoe adding an
090805 - anchor if the user so chooses, ref SDS 0 T74N, all within less than 1
090806 - second by using Alt F9 twice in a row, per implementation explained
090807 - below. ref SDS 0 4C5L  Initial experience so far indicates this
090808 - improvement saves a lot of time preparing the record, ref SDS 0 6C7K,
090809 - which lowers the threshold for changing attitudes about using good
090810 - management because it doesn't take a lot more time than bad

0911 - Problem
0912 -
091201 - Addressability Requires Creating Anchors Fast and Easy at No Expense
091202 -
091203 - A core issue is how to add addressability where needed and at will,
091204 - without investing appreciable time and money?
091206 -  ..
091207 - Background....
091208 -
091209 -    1.  Linking has been endemic to SDS since about 1985 for connecting
091210 -        cause and effect to work intelligently, reported on 000723,
091211 -        ref SDS 5 KU55, and called out by management standards....
091212 -
091213 -           a.  ISO and PMBOK require traceability to original sources,
091214 -               reviewed on 950721. ref SDS 1 1740
091215 -
091216 -           b.  FAR requires documenting organizational history of work
091217 -               that justifies daily decisions, reviewed on 020504.
091218 -               ref SDS 9 XV7L
091220 -         ..
091221 -        On 971021 SDS records were ported to the Internet for enabling
091222 -        anytime, anywhere intelligence that improves information
091223 -        management for carrying out good management. ref SDS 2 3636
091224 -
091225 -        On 971206 anchors were added to the system. ref SDS 3 4862
091227 -         ..
091228 -    2.  On 010311 F1 F1 F3 was designed to make custom links fast and
091229 -        easy that increase addressability, ref SDS 6 PK3O, for making
091230 -        feedback by others fast and easy to refine accuracy of the
091231 -        record on organizational memory that refines accuracy of
091232 -        knowledge, which according to Charles Pierce reviewed on
091233 -        000515, requires continual effort. ref SDS 4 7380
091235 -         ..
091236 -    3.  On 020320 addressability was improved by adding new processes
091237 -        to the "save" function that automatically add anchors to
091238 -        various record elements, ref SDS 8 0001, which increases the
091239 -        benefits under points 1 and 2, without significant increase in
091240 -        the time to create the record.
091241 -
091243 -  ..
091244 - Current procedure F1 F1 F3 and Automatic Links that Require Editing
091245 -
091246 - Anchors are added automatically for addressability that supports the
091247 - needs of the user who prepares the record.
091249 -  ..
091250 - Custom links can be added by moving the cursor to a desired position
091251 - and pressing F1 F1 F3 to help others.  This is fast and easy, noted in
091252 - point 2. ref SDS 0 K684
091254 -  ..
091255 - Anchors are added automatically by the "save" process to supplement
091256 - user's requirements expressed through creating links in the record and
091257 - adding custom links, noted in point 3. ref SDS 0 457N
091259 -  ..
091260 - These capabilities and objectives make adding anchors a regular task
091261 - for the user that requires moving the cursor to the location for an
091262 - anchor and pressing F1 F1 F3.  Automatic anchors provided by point 3
091263 - sometimes occur in the wrong place and so take time to move them,
091264 - and/or the automatic system omits putting anchors where that appear to
091265 - be useful, because to get the benefits of flexible structure,
091266 - explained in POIMS, ref OF 1 M17I, every arrangement cannot be
091267 - provided in the code.

0915 - Planning
0916 -
091601 - Save Time and Money by Making Intelligence Faster and Easier
091602 -
091603 - Today, will change macro 49, called by Alt F9 to justify a paragraph
091604 - of text, by integrating a feature that adds an anchor to provide
091605 - addressability above the paragraph, using macro 987, per below.
091606 - ref SDS 0 T74N  Putting anchors above the text improves the method
091607 - developed on 020320 of adding anchors automatically inline for SDS
091608 - records. ref SDS 8 716H and ref SDS 8 K33N  We will keep the feature
091609 - of putting anchors inline for indented material in the editor, because
091610 - indenting when converted to HTML seems to work better with inline
091611 - anchors and links.
091613 -      ..
091614 -     [On 030102 eliminated feature of adding links automatically,
091615 -     except for headlines. ref SDS 19 NY4O
091617 -  ..
091618 - Integrating addressability and justifying a para saves time otherwise
091619 - required to add custom anchors creating SDS records, and this added
091620 - addressability saves time for people using records on the Internet
091621 - with explicit links, created by macro 070405, for working
091622 - intelligently to save time and money for everyone, as described on
091623 - 020726 ref SDS 11 2M5M  We cannot save more time creating links for
091624 - the user, because creating links users want for their own use are
091625 - already created at will, i.e., it takes no time, so we cannot reduce 0
091626 - any further.  But we can reduce the time users invest to provide
091627 - addressability for others to use the record in a way that saves time
091628 - for everybody else.
091630 -  ..
091631 - There are are several areas where time can be saved creating anchors
091632 - for others....
091633 -
091634 -    1.  Having to pause and evaluate whether an anchor is needed and
091635 -        decide whether to take action based on the time required to
091636 -        create an anchor of say 2 to 10 seconds.
091638 -         ..
091639 -    2.  Moving the cursor and adjusting the outline structure and line
091640 -        spacing to put an anchor above a paragraph, or within a
091641 -        paragraph, say save 2 - 5 seconds.
091643 -         ..
091644 -    3.  Moving the hands to reach up and press F1 F1 F3, per point 2,
091645 -        ref SDS 0 K684, say save 1 - 2 seconds.
091647 -         ..
091648 -    4.  Changing the location of anchors added by the save function
091649 -        that turn out to be inconvenient, which consumes time under
091650 -        points 1 - 3, same as point 2, saves 2 - 5 seconds.
091652 -  ..
091653 - All of these considerations add up to a lot of time that can be saved,
091654 - particularly for reviewing received documents like letters, articles,
091655 - books and reports, illustrated by work on 020504 reviewing the Federal
091656 - Acquisition Regulations (FAR), ref SDS 9 XV7L, that have a lot of
091657 - structure which requires attention and editing for adding anchors;
091658 - another example is Gary's letter today asking for support to study
091659 - further improvements to SDS that help solve the memory issue.
091660 - ref SDS 17 5J8G
091662 -  ..
091663 - Even though doing any of these tasks takes less than 10 seconds, and
091664 - even though this is a significant savings compared to using other
091665 - tools and methods, as noted by Murray Altheim on 020820, ref SDS 13
091666 - O1QQ, we can save more time by changing the Alt F9 justify op to add
091667 - an anchor, if one is not already there.
091669 -  ..
091670 - This record, for example, has 38 anchors; but let's say a typical SDS
091671 - record has only 30 anchors....
091672 -
091673 -       Each anchor takes 10 seconds then 10 x 30 = ....... 300 seconds
091675 -  ..
091676 - 300 seconds means pausing 5 minutes to help other people work
091677 - intelligently.
091678 -
091679 -       If an anchor takes 30 seconds using other
091680 -       methods that is.................................... 900 seconds
091681 -
091682 -       SDS generates savings relative to using
091683 -       using other methods................................ 300%
091685 -  ..
091686 - 300% seems like a lot of cost savings, but we can do better.
091688 -  ..
091689 - Reducing time for adding anchors to 1 second, means...
091690 -
091691 -       1 second for 30 anchors to add addressability
091692 -       that empowers people to create connections that
091693 -       save time for everybody, shown on 020726,
091694 -       ref SDS 11 2M5M, is only............................ 30 seconds
091696 -  ..
091697 - 30 seconds means pausing for half a minute out of a busy day to help
091698 - other people work intelligently, that is 1000% less time.
091699 -
091700 -       Improvement today therefore generates savings
091701 -       using other methods of.............................3000%
091703 -  ..
091704 - These improvements significantly increase savings from using Knowledge
091705 - Space reported in the record on 020726. ref SDS 11 U26H
091706 -
091707 -      [On 030101 further improvement may have doubled savings again.
091708 -      ref SDS 18 0001
091710 -  ..
091711 - Implementation Empowers People to Choose When and Where to Add Anchors
091712 -
091713 - Creating anchors with Alt F9 to justify a para is a little tricky
091714 - because sometimes we do not want an anchor on a para, so the code
091715 - today provides a timing feature that, if justify is executed within 1
091716 - second, then the second time an anchor is added. ref SDS 0 TO9F
091717 -
091718 -      [On 030101 revisions to macro 49 tried to strengthen anchor
091719 -      placement and speed using Alt F9. ref SDS 18 4C5L
091721 -  ..
091722 - This means that, if the system supplied anchors are okay, under point
091723 - 3, ref SDS 0 457N, or, if the user does not want an anchor on a
091724 - paragraph, which occurs, for example, when there is a one or two line
091725 - paragraph, because adding an anchor to the next paragraph is redundant
091726 - to the purpose of addressability for instant access to context, then
091727 - this can be easily accomodated using the Alt F9 function normally to
091728 - justify text, and not use it twice within 1 second to add an anchor.

0920 - Evaluation
092101 -  ..
092102 - Automated Integration Saves Time Using Good Management Practice
092103 -
092104 - On 021108 Microsoft announced plans to integrate commands in order to
092105 - help people use a greater share of the features in their software
092106 - programs to improve productivity, ref SDS 14 EFBE, since without
092107 - integration, many people only use a small part of the power in
092108 - Microsoft programs, as reported on 020110, ref SDS 7 CK4K, similar to
092109 - the rule that people only use about 2% of their mental capacity and
092110 - memory.
092112 -  ..
092113 - The power of integration is illustrated by the change today that makes
092114 - adding addressability for good management must faster and easier than
092115 - using the prior steps explained above. ref SDS 0 6C60
092117 -      ..
092118 -     Alt F9 enters an anchor above a paragraph without having to move
092119 -     the cursor into position, as occurs with F1 F1 F3, because the
092120 -     justify code inherently finds the top of the para and starts above
092121 -     the first word in a paragraph, where an anchor is needed.  Alt F9
092122 -     is only one key stroke rather than three, and is already being
092123 -     performed to justifying a paragraph.  So, it could be argued this
092124 -     saves all three key strokes, relative to F1 F1 F3, plus it saves
092125 -     moving the left hand, and having to think about moving the hands.
092126 -     In addition, there are no keystrokes required at all to adjust the
092127 -     structure by adding lines, changing the outline format, etc.  So
092128 -     this change of doing everything with one keystroke saves from 2 -
092129 -     10 keystrokes, plus collateral time to resolve doubts about what
092130 -     to do.  On 020726 research showed that reducing key strokes
092131 -     improves productivity. ref SDS 11 A55K
092133 -  ..
092134 - The default condition is placing the anchor above the text which has
092135 - the effect of double spacing between paragraphs.  This aids reading by
092136 - reducing the density of information.   Anchors can be easily
092137 - incorporated within a textual paragraph by executing Alt F9 with the
092138 - cursor on the top line where there is an anchor without any text.
092139 -
092140 -      Later decided on 030107 that double spacing is not a good
092141 -      solution because it creates a mental break, and further because
092142 -      it is not fast and easy to provide a consistent appearance of
092143 -      everything double spaced.  So, added code to 070405 to remove the
092144 -      blank line above a line that has only an anchor.  The work is
092145 -      reported on 021111, but was performed on 030107. ref SDS 16 HD8O
092147 -  ..
092148 - The simplicity of adding anchors using Alt F9 means fewer links will
092149 - be added by the F2 "save" function, so there will be fewer occassions
092150 - that require editing, per point 4. ref SDS 0 6C6M
092151 -
