To Begin:

Press Shift F5

From this menu select 4 (Outline)

To Create the Outline:

Press Enter to create a heading number. Word automatically inserts capitalized Roman numerals, with a period following.

To insert various levels within the outline (i.e. A’s and I’s) use the Tab key. This will automatically indent your levels.

NOTE: If you press ENTER in a place where you meant to insert a level go back to the beginning of th eline that you wish to make a level and press Tab. Word will fix the problem for you; however, you will have to go back and change the Roman numeral, which Word automatically inserts, to an A or 1.

NOTE: Outline is a toggle switch, which means it will remain in the outline format until you turn it off.

To Turn Outline Off:

Press Shift F5.

Choose number 4 (Outline).

This will turn Outline off. Repeat these steps to turn it back on.
