Creating Outlines

Auto Outline

Auto Outline is an exclusive Jarte Plus feature that allows you to create perfect outlines with minimal effort. Jarte automatically maintains proper outline numbering for outline entries (i.e., paragraphs) when the Auto Outline feature is activated. Both Roman and Arabic outline numbering schemes are available, as shown here:

Outline numbering is based on the indentation level of the outline's entries. Use Jarte's Increase Indent and Decrease Indent features to change an outline entry's outline level. The outline level can also be changed using the Tab and Backspace keys if the insertion point is placed at the beginning of an outline entry. Auto Outline maintains proper outline numbering throughout your outline as you add and delete entries anywhere within the outline. Proper outline numbering is also maintained as you change the outline level of existing entries anywhere within the outline.

An outline can be ended by pressing the Enter key twice.

Unnumbered Outline Paragraphs

Occasionally, it may be necessary to split a single outline entry into more than one paragraph. Only the first paragraph of the outline entry should be numbered in this case. For example:

Notice the two unnumbered paragraphs in the outline do not interrupt or upset the outline's numbering. This effect is achieved by applying the Unnumbered Paragraph setting to the desired paragraphs.
