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. PLAIN style is used primarily in porting the paragraphs of an outline to a text file that will subsequently be edited with a PASCAL—compatible word processor. It arranges your outline according to a set of minimal format settings which are listed in Table R—1 and described in detail under FORMATTED. The minimal formats suppress headlines, mar- gins, table of contents, and page breaks. Once you’ve chosen PLAIN style, you can go on to print or port the outline.
