ThinkTank Manual

Constraints on Headlines

There are two constraints on ThinkTank headlines. First, they can’t be blank. To create the effect of a blank head- line, select a NEW option and type a space before you press

RETURN.

Second, a headline can’t exceed the width of your screen. If you want to add a longer headline, put the informa— tion in a paragraph instead. Or create a series of new head— lines, each continuing to the next, and treat them as a unit.

Constraints on Paragraphs

There are three constraints on ThinkTank paragraphs. First, like headlines, they can’t be blank. Type a space to creat,e the effect of a blank paragraph.

Second, each paragraph is limited to 2048 characters. If you want to create a longer one, split it into two or more paragraphs and place them under adjacent headlines. When you print the outline, suppress the headlines so that the paragraphs appear to be consecutive, or enter a “blank” headline as described above.

Third, ThinkTank won’t let you enter more than one “paragraph” for any headline. You can place several literal paragraphs in a single ThinkTank paragraph by ending each with a carriage return. Your text will appear as several separate paragraphs, although ThinkTank will treat them as a single en- tity.

*Use a command prefix to move several positions at once.
