Hi, Robert

To add tasks to a particular folder, two suggestions:

1.       Bring up the Rapid Text Entry window (for instructions see the User
Manual or come back here and ask). Click the Parent button, select the
destination folder, then enter your tasks

2.       Quickly navigate to the destination folder by collapsing your
outline (F6) then clicking on the top-level parent you want, then the
second-level parent etc. until you reach your destination folder. Click on
the "create subtask" button (just to the right of the Big Red Button in the
toolbar) (or Alt-Ins if you prefer keyboard) and enter your first task. Use
the Big Red Button (or Ins) for subsequent tasks

 

For depth of outline, first become familiar with F6 and F7 for collapse all
and expand all. Go to Tools>Options>Hotkeys and scroll down to the View
section, then scroll down more to find four entries for Level-1 through
Level-4. You have to assign a hotkey sequence to these before they become
usable, be sure to avoid key sequences that are already assigned, in MLO or
in Windows. You might also want to check out zoom-in.

Subject: [MLO] Fastest way to place an item and to control outline depth

 

Hi, I'm loving MLO, but I have a couple kinks I need to work out.

 

What is the fastest way to get an item into it's proper outline category? I
pretty much do everything in outlines, mostly in Word, so I've come to think
that way. Can any users share their efficiency tips for item input? I need
to get items into outline sections such as "Business / Clients"

 

I remember Grandview had a dropdown list that allowed you to assign the
position of an item, and this was really fast. 

 

I'm also wondering about controlling the outline view. Is there a fast way
to set the depth of the outline view on the fly?

 

If these two features are not so efficient, I would give them a high
priority for future versions.

 

Thanks for any tips!
