Sorting paragraphs
You can use the Paragraph Sorter Assistant to sort (reorder) paragraphs
alphabetically, numerically, or by date in a word processing document or
text frame.
To sort paragraphs, select the paragraphs you want to sort and then choose
AppleWorks Assistants from the Help menu. Select Paragraph Sorter, and then click
OK. Then select how you want the paragraph sorted. AppleWorks sorts the
paragraphs based on the selected text or the contents of the entire paragraph.
See “Creating a document” on page 2-1 for more information about Assistants.
Outlining
An outline summarizes the major ideas of a written work in topics (major
headings) and subtopics (subordinate ideas). You can indent the subtopics to
different levels to show their relative importance in the outline.
As you’re organizing your ideas, move topics up or down to change their
level. Hide (collapse) subtopics to highlight main ideas and show (expand)
subtopics to focus on small details.
AppleWorks provides three preset outlines for you to use. You can modify
the preset outline or create new outline styles. For information on modifying
styles, see “Modifying an outline style” on page 4-17. To create a style, see
“Using styles” on page 9-5.
