Ah, good point. I forgot about columns (because my outlines don't use 
em much).

I've never used any other program with documents that have multiple 
cells, except maybe a spreadsheet, but that didn't have the notion of 
"indenting" so I'm not sure if it's really comparable.  I agree 
completely that such an option would be ideal (or have the preference 
back to customize it).
