- 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.
- This down arrow means that there are more sub-entries (children) to
- this outline. Because it is in reverse video, they are also
- temporarily hidden from view. To unhide (show) these children,
- position the cursor anywhere in this outline element and PRESS THE
- GRAY PLUS 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 PLUS key works like a toggle. If the children of the
- current outline element are hidden, then the GRAY PLUS key will
- unhide (show) them (You could also accomplish this with the
- CURRENT ENTRY'S CHILDREN function from the SHOW menu); if they
- are already unhidden, then the GRAY PLUS key will hide them (You
- could also accomplish this with the CURRENT ENTRY'S CHILDREN
- function from the HIDE menu).
-
- 3. Try practicing with the GRAY PLUS key. Position the cursor in
- this outline element and press the GRAY PLUS key. The first
- time you press it the children of this outline element will
- appear. The second time you press it they will disappear.
- Note, 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 back in outline element 3. and press the
- GRAY PLUS key again and these children will vanish again.
