4-14 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual
You can add an outline at any point in a text document or frame by choosing
an outline label from the pop-up menu on the text ruler. To format existing
text as an outline, select the text and choose an outline label. When you’re
finished typing the outline, you can begin typing paragraphs again by
choosing a paragraph label from the
pop-up menu on the text ruler.
See the next section for more information about creating and adding topics
to an outline.
Tip If you want to organize your thoughts, but you don’t want to create an
outline, you can create a list, such as a bulleted list or checklist. See “Adding
bullets, numbers, and checkboxes to paragraphs” on page 4-11.
Creating an outline
To create an outline, choose an outline label from the pop-up menu, and
then type the first topic. To add another topic at the same level as the current
topic, press Enter. To add another topic indented to the left or to the right of
the current topic, choose New Topic Left or New Topic Right from the Outline menu.
To create a new line without a label, press Shift+Enter. This is especially
useful for creating a blank line within a numbered list without affecting the
sequence of numbers.
