The Outline view is suitable not only for viewing the document’s structure, but also
for editing it. You can use the Outline toolbar for this purpose, too: with the help of
the arrow buttons you can raise or lower the outline levels of headings or promote
paragraphs of normal text to headings.
Numbering headings: Headings are often numbered. TextMaker can take care of this
numbering for you automatically. You can read about this in section “Numbering
headings” beginning on page 390).

Using the Outline view
As mentioned in the introduction, TextMaker puts at your disposal a special display
mode for editing a document’s outline: the Outline view.
To switch to Outline view, invoke the View > Outline command. You can return
from Outline view to the normal view any time you wish with View > Standard.
In Outline view, you see the document as a structure whose parts are organized
according to major and minor headings. First level headings (major headings) are
aligned flush left. Each lower level heading is indented to the right by an amount
corresponding to its level.
In the following sections you will learn all about what you can do in Outline view.
Changing the outline levels of paragraphs
To give a document an outline or to edit an existing outline, switch to Outline view
and there simply change the outline levels of the paragraphs that contain headings.
