By default, when you enter text into a document, the text paragraphs are assigned
to outline level 0. If you subsequently assign a specific paragraph for example to
outline level 1, you promote it to a level one heading.
Thus, you specify the document’s major headings by assigning the corresponding
paragraphs to outline level 1. If you want to add subheadings under the major
headings, you assign the corresponding paragraphs to outline levels 2, etc.
To change the outline level of a paragraph, do the following:
1. Invoke the Outline view with the View > Outline command.
2. Position the text cursor in the paragraph of interest.
3. Click on one of the following icons in the Outline toolbar, or use one of the
following keyboard shortcuts:
Icon
Function
Raises the paragraph’s outline level by 1.
Keyboard shortcut: (Alt)(Shiftª)(æ)
Lowers the paragraph’s outline level by 1.
Keyboard shortcut: (Alt)(Shiftª)(Æ)
Lowers the paragraph’s outline level to 0 (= normal text).
Keyboard shortcut: (Ctrl)(Shiftª)(N)
Tip: Additionally, keyboard shortcuts (Alt)(1) through (Alt)(3) are defined for
outline levels 1 through 3. The keyboard shortcut (Alt)(0) is defined for level 0
(normal text). Thus, you can use these key combinations to very quickly assign
headings to levels 1 through 3 or convert headings back to normal text.
Moreover, all of the key combinations mentioned above work not only in Outline
view but also in the normal view.

To enable you to gain a better overview of a document’s structure in Outline view,
TextMaker provides you with a way to hide the normal text while leaving the
headings visible. It also allows you to hide headings below a specified level whenever
required.
The Outline toolbar provides buttons for this purpose as follows:
