Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel what is an efficient way via keyboard shortcuts to make a note under an outline point, all duly indented from the left outline margin and then resume the next outline number in the original outline format?

thank you for any help.

Are you in Outline View or Notebook Layout?

In Outline View, there isn't one. Hit Tab to go down a level, Enter to stay
on the same level. There are nine levels.

You can add a command to "DemoteToBodyText". That's the name of the
command. Use Tools>Customise to add a keystroke for it. You will find it
in the All Commands list.

Generally, I wouldn't go overboard adding keystrokes to Word: ultimately you
will make the product difficult to learn and fiddly to use. A five-button
mouse is a much better investment: Word is very right-click-enabled :)

Cheers

Normally I would be in page layout. I had never heard of a 5 button mouse. I assume they are available for apple from retail ordinary suppliers? I will try that and see how they work.

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

Yes :) Almost any mouse you can buy that Apple didn't make has at least
three buttons. The mid-range and high-end mice from Microsoft and Logitech
have five: Left and Right click, Scroll wheel, Scroll Wheel Click, Forward,
and Back buttons.

That's Five buttons and a scroll wheel :)

Just about "any" mouse will simply plug-in and work in OS X.

I use a Microsoft Mouse 5000 and a 6000 (rechargeable) because they will
work on a much wider range of surfaces than some others, and are more
accurate than all except the high-end Logitechs.

Mice are a very personal choice: go to a large retailer and click a few.
The best one for you is the one that feels best :)

Don't get over-sold on "wireless" mice. They can prevent your BlueTooth
from working. The ones with a wire are not only cheaper, they are often
more reliable. Rechargeables are really not worth it: the batteries on the
ordinary ones last anything up to half a year!

Hope this helps

"Most" pointing devices on the market today will work with both Mac &
Windows OS ‹ just check the system requirements for compatibility before you
buy. Some of the most popular brands are Logitec, Kensington, Microsoft &
Macally, but there are numerous others.

If you're using the built-in Bullets & Numbering just press return twice
after typing the point you want to annotate. Type your note (tabbing in as
you want). Press return, then click the Numbering button & use the Smart Tag
that appears to select 'Continue Numbering'.

Just a point of clarification - the Apple Mouse has five buttons (since 2005), one of which is also a two-dimension scroll ball. I use one on my Windows 7 PC at home, and my OpenSUSE workstation at work.

(I cannot recommend the Apple Mouse - the scroll ball easily gets dirty affecting scrolling and the side buttons are too easy to hit unintentionally. I prefer the Microsoft 5000 or 6000 series, but these were free.)
