Creating an outline |
Outlining is useful for planning and for structuring ideas when writing. When you create an outline in Inspiration, you use topics to represent your ideas. You begin with your main idea, which is the focus of your document. Then you add the topics you want to cover. A topic generally contains one idea or piece of information. Topics can have subtopics, which provide more detail. An outline can have up to 99 levels of subtopics.
In Inspiration outlines, as in diagrams, you can add a note to any topic or subtopic to add details to your ideas. Notes text can be one or two sentences, several paragraphs or even several pages. When you add notes to an outline, you're well on your way to developing an organized report, essay or story.
