Great, thanks, sent the prototype to you - check your mail!

Thanks, Stuart! Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding CN functionality.

Hi Stuart, 
thanks for supporting us and sorry that CintaNotes has disappointed you in regard of this feature. If you wish, I could issue a refund to you, just drop a line to support@cintanotes.com.

Alarms in notes are planned for this year, they haven't been implemented yet because there are lots of competing user demands, and because there are just 2 non-full-time developers. If you have a blog, you can dramatically increase this feature's priority via asking people to vote here.
 

Ok, let's leave it open and see if it has user demand

Re-formulated as a bug here: http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/451396-/

Ok. I'd even treat that is doesn't support this as a bug. I've registered it here: http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/451396-/
This issue will thus be closed. Thanks for your help)

Indeed. I only checked WordPad and assumed that Word should behave the same. Wrong :)
