A Couple Questions

Hello!

I recently bought Outliner, after having nursed More 3.1 along through 
an amazing number of OS upgrades.  [More still works, but using it on 
an OSX box feels like driving a horse and buggy on the freeway.] I 
can't live without an outlining program ... I'm still learning 
Outliner, though, and have a couple questions I can't find answers to.

1) I have a list in TextEdit that I want to make an outline from. In 
More, I could paste in the entire text document, then split it into my 
outline sections, using Command-Return. I can't find a way to split 
rows in Outliner. Is this feature missing (if so, please add it!), or 
did I miss something.

B) With the same document, I'd like to apply styles to each level. I 
can set the font for each level, but it isn't applied to the outline -- 
I have to change each section manually. Then, when I copy some new text 
into the outline (from Mail), it retains the styling from Mail -- 
again, I have to change the style by hand.

In More, there was a command to remove existing styles, so the "master" 
style for that level could be applied. Outliner needs something like 
this, too.

Oh, one more question -- is there any way to print one section of an 
outline?

Thanks --

--Liz
