Using Inspiration

Changing the prefixes for your outline

Everyone has preferences about how things look. For example, you may want to change the kind of prefixes that appear in front of the topics on your outline. It is easy to do. Here we'll change from Roman Numeral (the way prefixes are when you first start Inspiration) to an alphanumeric set of prefixes.

1. On the Outline toolbar, click the Prefix button, then choose AlphaNumerals.

   Inspiration changes all the prefixes on your outline.

Aside
You can globally change topic fonts and styles as well as set margins, headers and footers using Outline Properties. You can access Outline Properties by choosing Outline Properties on the File menu.

Printing your outline

When you print your outline, Inspiration automatically includes all topics, subtopics and notes text. Inspiration also prints a header at the top of each page. Of course, you can change what is to appear in the header or choose to print no header by changing the settings in the Outline Properties dialog box.

You can preview what your outline is going to look like, and then print it.

1. On the File menu, choose Print Preview.

   Your outline appears onscreen so you can see how it will look on the page.

2. To print your outline, click Print. If you do not want to print your outline, click Cancel to return to the Outline view.
3. When the Print dialog box appears, click Print (OK).

Your outline prints.
