USING MARKS FOR FASTER EDITING


Marks are a method for quickly editing several outline
elements at one time.  In order to use them effectively, you
need to understand six operations.

 A. To mark an element,
    position the cursor anywhere in the element to mark and
    choose Mark/Unmark Outline Entry from the Outline Menu, or
    press F2.  A marked element will have its numbering
    highlighted.  Try marking this element.

 B. To unmark an element,
    postion the cursor in a marked element and press F2. Note
    that this acts as a toggle between Mark and Unmark.  Mark
    this element, then unmark it.

 C. To copy marked elements to a new location,
    move the cursor to the element above and on the same level
    as the location you want all marked elements copied to and
    choose Copy Marks from the Outline Menu, or press F9.  Try
    the following exercise:

    1. Mark and copy this element
    2. and copy this element
    3. below this element.

 D. To move marked elements to a new location,
    move the cursor to the element above and on the same level
    as the location you want all marked elements copied to and
    choose Move Marks from the Outline Menu, or press Shift F10.
    Try the following exercise:

    1. Mark and move this element
    2. and move this element
    3. below this element.

 E. To indent marked elements,
    choose Indent Marks from the Outline Menu, or press F8.  All
    but the first element on a level will be indented to a lower
    level.  Try the following exercise:

    1. You cannot indent this element
    2. but you can indent this element
    3. and this element.

 F. To promote marked elements,
    choose Promote Marks from the Outline Menu, or press F7.
    Only the last element(s) on a level will be promoted to a
    higher level.  Try the following exercise:

    1. If you marked this element
    2. but not this element
    3. and marked this element
       only the third element would be promoted.
