Note: Normally, you should not change the Outline level option in the Format >
Paragraph dialog manually. Use the Outline view or the styles mentioned above
to do this. These methods are more convenient and avoid potential sources of
error.
Practical outlining
To summarize, let’s consider how outlines can be applied most effectively in your
documents.
Outlining an existing document
Let’s assume that you have already typed a document that includes headings and
now want to use outlining to restructure it.
To do this, all you need to do is to switch to the Outline view with View > Outline
and assign the headings to the desired levels.
To raise or lower the outline level of any heading, position the text cursor in the
heading and use the (higher level) or (lower level) button.
Assign the major headings to outline level 1, the immediately subordinate headings
to outline level 2, etc.
To exit Outline view, invoke View > Standard.
Outlining a new document
The procedure for outlining a new document is no different than the one described
above, except that a new document will have no headings at first.
You can write out the whole document in a single stretch and then worry about the
outline. Alternatively, you can assign each new heading to an outline level as soon
as you have typed it, using the procedure described above.
Numbering headings
The headings of a large document are often numbered. For example, a major
heading might have the numbering 1. and its sub-headings the numberings 1.1.,
1.2., 1.3, etc.
