Luna has been collecting and sharing seeds with her friends for thirteen
years. "I've seen my share of surprises. Some seeds are so
obviously mislabeled that I can correct them before they go out.
Others you don't catch until the next year." Luna uses The
Compleat Botanica to track the origin and original acquisition of each
new plant when she first gets it, then each autumn she prints labels
for the outgoing seed packets.

Q: Why does a different set of fonts show in the report layout?
A:
The list of fonts that are available for use when printing reports is
dependant upon the currently selected printer. If the list of fonts
appears too short, be sure that you've selected a printer other than
"generic / text only". See the full story.

Q: I'm not clear if your software comes preloaded with
some kind of botanical database or if it's empty and ready to enter my
own data.
A: The
Compleat Botanica comes with a sample database of wild and
cultivated plants containing approximately 5000 entries. This is
an excellent starting point for building your own collection of data and
pictures; nevertheless, the world's collection of plant-related data is
vast and personal interests are varied. The best use for The
Compleat Botanica is for researching, organizing, and educating
yourself using the tools provided with the software.
For ideas about where to obtain public domain data and pictures
relating to your area of interest, refer to the page

Q: How do I export data from the software?
A: The Compleat Botanica can write five types of XML
files: specimen, filters, categories,
vernacular names, and taxonomic records. The Export
command for each of these five types is available from the File menu and is synchronized
with the current view. So to export specimen
records your current window should be one of the Specimen Views; to
export filters your current view should be the Filter view; to export custom categories your current
view should be the Categories View; to export common names your current view
should be the Vernacular Names View; and
finally, to export taxonomic records your current view should be the Checklist.
