[188c]A Concurrence document is comprised of pieces of text, or topics, arranged hierarchically. You can see a document in any number of windows, called views, either in outline or slide format.
[228c]Changes to the textual content of topics, or to their placement in the hierarchy, are reflected in all of a document's windows concurrently. However, cosmetic formatting characteristics can be changed independently in each view.
[159c]A Concurrence document is at heart a hierarchical collection of text blocks, called topics. Each topic holds a bit of text, usually a few words or a paragraph.
[331c]A topic can be viewed as a line of text in an outline, with its children (and their children) indented below it. You can also look at it as the title of a slide, with its descendants making up the body of the slide's text. The details of working with your document in either of these forms are explored in the chapters that follow.
[56c]A child is a topic which is subordinate to another topic
[45c]A parent is a topic with one or more children
[115c]A topic's descendants are the successive generations below it. That is, its children, and their children, and so on
[40c]Siblings are topics with the same parent
[220c]Peers are topics which live at the same level within the hierarchy of a document, but are not necessarily directly related. That is they may have different parents. All siblings are peers, but not all peers are siblings.
[96c]The relationships between topics are described in terms of families, and are defined as follows:
[76c]A Concurrence document is at heart a hierarchy of topics and their children.
[7c]Topics
[153c]You aren't limited to looking at a particular document in one way. In fact, you can have as many views of a document as you wish, each in its own window.
[155c]At its core, a document is a collection of unformatted text topics and subtopics. But this core can be displayed as any number of slide and outline views.
[455c]If you have created an outline (see Chapter 7), you can easily turn it into a slide show (see Chapter 9), and vice versa. In fact, you can make more than one slide view, and more than one outline view, of the same document, so the same information can be presented in any number of ways. For example, you can create a detailed presentation for your coworkers, or a brief overview for the board of directors, without completely rewriting your presentation.
[5c]Views
[225c]A view browser allows you to create and coordinate the views of a document. Normally, when you make a new document its view browser is displayed. If you can't find a document's browser, choose View Browser from the View menu.
[97c]A view browser gives you access to all of the views
of a document, and lets you create new views
[291c]To create new views of a document, use its view browser. Click the browser's New Slide View button to create a slide view of the document, in which its top level topics will serve as the titles of slides. Click the New Outline View button for a new, unformatted outline view of the document.
[193c]Each outline or slide view of a document is catalogued in the top pane of its view browser. To see a particular view of the document, select the view's name and click the browser's Open button.
[63c]See Chapter 20, View, for more on creating views of a document.
[27c] Creating and Opening Views
[319c]The text of a document and the structural relationships between its topics remains the same from view to view. If you are working with more than one view of a document, and you change the wording of a topic, move a topic, or add a new one, these changes will be echoed concurrently in all of the document's other views.
[377c]However, any changes you make to the text justification, font or color of a topic will only be reflected in the view of the document that you are currently working with. This includes graphics on slides and default formats: they affect only one view, and are not reflected in others. (See Chapter 8 for more on default formats, and Chapters 10 through 12 to read about slides.)
[164c]Commands such as Collapse, Expand, and Focus also apply to each view individually and not to the whole document. Read about these in Chapter 7, Basics of Outlining.
[26c] Concurrence Between Views
[82c]There may be times when you want to make a new document based on an existing one.
[178c]Use the Save As command from the Document menu to save an open document under a new name. Any changes you make to the new document will not be reflected in the original document.
[168c]The New from Template command, under the Document menu, also allows you to use the format and structure of an existing document, yet create a new, independent document.
[50c]Read about these commands in Chapter 15, Document.
[22c]New Documents from Old
[226c]The Close command, found in the Document menu, closes an entire document, making all of its windows disappear simultaneously. When you choose this command for a document with unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save them.
[111c]Note that the close box in all views of a document will show a broken X when a change is made in any its views.
[173c] If your document has ten open views and you change one, the document will be considered unsaved, and all of its ten windows will display the broken X in their close boxes.
