Outline Questions and Answers from Pre-Releas |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Are there only eight levels in outline? Solutions: Yes. Question: What constitutes a family? Answer: Any level the cursor is currently resting on and any sublevels attached to that level. Question: Do you have a style for each level or for the entire outline? Answer: You have one style for the entire outline, but each level has its own set of style on codes. This way you can have one level be open, and another level be paired. Question: With outline and moving families, can you use GoTo? Answer: No. Only cursor movement is allowed through the use of the arrow keys. Question: What is the flexibility in changing the definition of outline numbers? Answer: Same as WordPerfect 5.0. The real power and flexibility comes from using the definitions in styles. Question: Will WP 5.1 allow decimal alignment of paragraph numbers? Answer: Yes, by creating an outline style and in the first level insert the Tab Align code (Ctrl-F6). Question: Is an outline style the same as a style and saved in the same library? Answer: Outline styles are different from the document styles. Outline styles are shown in the document style library to remind the user that they are part of the document, but you cannot select an outline style from the document style menu. You can convert a non-outline style (document style) to an outline style. They are stored in the same style library. Question: Can you set your tabs in outline styles? Answer: Yes. They will apply only to the outline and will not be used when outline is turned off. Question: Can you use block to move more than one family at a time? Answer: Yes, but the move family will not work. Block will work just as it does in WP 5.0 now. Question: Does each level have a different style on/off [HRt] toggle? Answer: Yes. Question: Does the paired style allow you to set a new font at the off code? Answer: Yes, but it won't be recognized, it returns to the last font before the style. Question: If you choose option 8 in Outline, how do you get back to a higher level or number? Answer: Margin release, or shift-tab. Question: Can you set a path for the outline style library in the setup menu? Answer: It is the same path as the style library. Question: Why would you use paired styles verses open? Answer: One reason is to bring attention to a particular level with font changes or attribute changes. Another may be how you want the return character to act for different levels. Question: How do you get the Outline 1.1? Answer: Select option #4 in the outline definition menu. Question: What does Attach Previous Level Mean? Answer: It means that every sublevel will have the previous level's number attached with it: A. will become II.A, 1 will become A.1 or II.A.1. Question: Are the outline styles listed with the document styles? Answer: Yes, they also specify that they are outline styles, and may not be selected from the document style menu. Question: What is a family in the outline menu? Answer: A family is the level where the cursor is located and every sublevel attached to that level. Question: If you want to edit a level, can you edit the level or do you recreate it and have duplicate codes in the document? Answer: It can be edited, so that there is only one set of codes for that level. Question: Do you have to do a margin release to move back one level or can you just delete an indent code? Answer: No, there is no indent code in the WP 5.1 outline feature. When you use the margin release, the margin release code doesn't appear in the document, instead it pulls out one level style code and substitutes another level style code. This is because there is no way to indent the outline manually in 5.1 if you are using styles: Each level must have the number of tabs needed to tab over for each level. Question: Can you do a double outline in a document? Answer: What is a double outline? You can run paragraph numbering inside of outline if that is what is meant (go into each level and insert the paragraph definition code and turn paragraph numbering on. It gets confusing and is hard to remember where you are). Question: Where does the cursor need to be to move a family? Answer: Anywhere on the parent level, on the outline code, before the code, or on the text for that level. Question: Can you put a tab set code in the outline style? Answer: Yes. Question: How does the program update the levels when you change them? Answer: When you press tab or margin release, the current level is pulled out and the next or previous level is inserted into the current place. Question: Can you change fonts within the line on a level? Answer: Manually, yes. If you want to change fonts in a style, the limit is one before the outline numbering code, and one after the numbering code (you can add more, but they won't take affect). Question: If a user creates two open styles for outline, will he have problems? Answer: No, there is only room to have one style functioning at one time. You can however change definitions and change style codes within the same outline on/off codes. Question: How can you have two different outlines or two different styles in the same document? Answer: Select the styles in the order you want them, when you want them, same as using different outline definitions now in WP 5.0. Question: If both screens have outline and style definitions can a family be moved from one screen to another, auto update the paragraph number? etc.? Answer: No, the families can only be moved around within the outline on/off codes. Question: With legal numbering (1.1.2, 1.2.2, etc) what decimal will the tab line up with? Answer: With the first decimal in the group (the one immediately after level one). |
