Marguerite became fascinated with herbal tinctures at an early age. "I
must have read over 30 books about the subject going deeper and deeper
into the history and the folklore." She started organizing her
research with 3x5 cards before moving to a computer spreadsheet.
Now she uses The Compleat Botanica, "I'll never go back."

Q: How do I add items to the list of tags to print?
A:
Whenever you add a new specimen to your collection, the Tag needs
printing box is checked. Later when you use the Print tags .
. . command, those items that are checked will be included in the list
of tags to print. When the tags have been printed, the Tag needs
printing box has its check removed.
You re-include an item in the
list by simply checking the box again.

Q: How do I export data from the software?
A: The Export command writes files in XML format. XML is an acronym for eXtensible Markup
Language. It is a standard adopted by
the World Wide Web Consortium for writing files that are �self descriptive�. The formal definition of an XML file is
contained in a data type definition (DTD) file. The DTD used by The Compleat Botanica is specified in the file
CompleatBotanicaSchema.xml.
