- HOW TO HIDE OR UNHIDE PORTIONS OF AN OUTLINE
-
-
- A. This is the start of a long outline. Most of it is hidden. If you
- look in the second column from the far right (the 79th column) in
- the last row of this outline entry, you will see a down arrow. The
- down arrow means that this outline has more subentries (children).
- The arrow is in reverse video, which indicates that the children
- are temporarily hidden from view. To unhide (show) these children,
- position the cursor anywhere in this outline element and PRESS THE
- GRAY + KEY.
-
- 1. Now you can see the next layer in the outline. These children
- can also have children and so on, up to about 50 levels deep.
-
- 2. The gray + key works like a toggle. If the children of the
- current outline element are hidden, the gray + key will unhide
- (show) them. (You can also unhide them with the Current Entry's
- Children function from the Show Menu.) If they are already
- unhidden, the gray + key will hide them. (You can also hide
- them with the Current Entry's Children function from the Hide
- Menu.)
-
- 3. Try practicing with the gray + key. Position the cursor in this
- outline element and press the gray + key. The first time you
- press it, the children of this outline element will appear. The
- second time you press it, they will disappear. Be aware that if
- the children are off the bottom of the screen, you may have to
- move the cursor down to get the screen to scroll up so that you
- can see the children after you unhide (show) them.
-
- a) Now you see the children.
- b) Position the cursor anywhere in outline element 3, and press
- the gray + key. These children will vanish again.
