When you want to move a set of topics one level to the right—or demote them in the outline hierarchy—you can move them all at once. When you demote a set of topics, they become subtopics to the selected topic. Any subtopics contained by topics you demote also move one level to the right.

To demote a set of topics in an outline:

1.Select the topic immediately above the set of topics you want to move to the right.

2.On the Outline menu, choose Demote.

The topics move to the right one level, making them subtopics of the selected topic.
