Deleting

Suppose the boss doesn’t like the reorganized PRODUCT PLAN. Move the bar cursor up to the copy of PRODUCT PLAN and type “/DO” (slash for the Main Command Menu, D for DELETE, and

Ofor OUTLINE). The reorganized outline disappears. If the boss changes his mind again, you can restore it with the

DELETE/RESTORE command —— at least until you delete another

outline.

Merging

Let’s try out one more feature —— merging paragraphs. You can combine the paragraphs under two distinct headlines if the second is adjacent to the first and at the same level (directly DOWN). First move the bar cursor to ADDING AND EDITING and type “//C” to make a copy of it. Now move the bar cursor back to the first copy and then type “//M", the fast path to the MERGE command. On the MERGE Command Menu, press D to DELETE the copy after merging it, and watch as ThinkTank merges the second paragraph into the first. The leader of the second headline changes from “-I-” to “—“ as the paragraph under it is deleted, as shown in Figure 4—13.
