Using tabs to change outline level
I frequently use outlines and I prefer to create them in the print layout
view. Sometimes, in print layout view, I have been able to use my tab key to change the outline level. This feature is available in outline view but seems sporadic in print view. Is there a way to use the tab key to move from say I. to A. to 1. to a. while in print view? It's much easier than having to reach for the mouse and click in the increase/decrease indention buttons. Thanks |
