When you print an outline or port it to a text file, ThinkTank displays the PORT STYLE Menu which allows you to choose among three standard ways of organizing your ported material. Different output styles are suitable for different purposes. FORMATTED style, which is primarily used in print- ing, gives you substantial control over the appearance of your document. It arranges your outline according to a set of 16 port format settings. You can set the following formats or

use the standard (default) settings, which are underlined. If

you need more control over the form of your document, port it to a text file and edit it with a PASCAL—compatible word processor.
