You should be able to just paste it in and have it appear as an outline. However, to make it appear with each item as a separate entry you first need to escape out of the text entry field (that is press the Escape key so that you aren't about to input text into an outline item, then paste your data there). I've made a short screencast of this in action (sorry gcrump, I needed some source text for my outline so I copied your rather conveniently formatted post for the purpose). You can view it here (~256kb in size).

You'll see me first paste in an entry field - result is what you probably experience now. Then I undo, press Escape to move up to the root level of the outline and paste again the same text - voila, insta-outline. Undo again then paste again.
