Split one item into two? Join two into one? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
If I import a few paragraphs from a document into an OOPro outline, how can I go through and make each paragraph its own item? In other words, can I put the cursor at the beginning of a paragraph - or line, or sentence - and hit a key combination that will split that item at that point into two items? I'm doing it now with cutting and pasting, and it's laborious.

Similarly, is there a easier way than cutting and pasting to select several items and join them into one?
 
Paragraphs will go into their own row if you past out of row editing mode (the escape key will toggle row editing row).

You can also use control-return to split the row at the cursor and control-delete to join.
 
Perfect. Thanks.
 
Further to this, is there a key command to then split some of the imported text to become a note?
 
Sorry no, maybe an AppleScript?
 
Hi,

I've just started using outliner and found this tip useful. Am I missing it, or is this keyboard command missing from all the help-files? I can't find it (the ctrl-rtn and ctrl-del) anywhere in my mac omnioutliner v3.5 help files.

I'd like to find more such commands!

thanks,
tim
