3) OUTLINING AND ORGANIZING IDEAS:

Generally word processors contain some form of outliner, a feature that allows you to split a focus into a hierarchical order with main points and sub points. Your computer maintains track of the levels of ideas automatically so that you can easily add, cut, or rearrange points in the outline. The outline feature creates fast work of organizing long or complex documents, procedures, and presentations. You can promote or demote items in the outline hierarchy by changing their indentation. You can also organize information into headings and subheadings, apply numbered and bulleted lists, and control which levels of information are displayed.
