Focusing on one topic and its subtopics in an outline

You can hide parts of your outline while you work so you can focus on a specific section of your outline. When you focus in, you have the entire screen to work in.

To focus on one topic and its subtopics in an outline:

1.Select the topic you want to focus on.

2.On the View menu, choose Focus In.

The topic and its subtopics appear alone on the screen where you can work on them without being distracted by the rest of the outline.

3.To display your complete outline again, on the View menu, choose Focus Out.

The entire outline reappears, including the topic you focused in on and its changes.

Tip: You can use the Focus In command as often as you want to isolate topics and subtopics as you work.
