If I want to create a topic “Venus” linked to my “Venus” outline item, I just select the Venus item in the outline, bring up the context menu by right-clicking, select “Topic” and then “Create links.” More than this, you can instruct CT to create a new topic linked to and with the same title as the selected outline item.įor example, I’ve get a CT project going where I’m writing this article, but also with parts of the Solar System example: The outliner (right) docked to the main window. You can, though, link items in the outline with topics (the CT term for entries in the project) in the project with current focus. They are not a part of any of your CT projects (the CT term for a file or database). Let me back up a step here and note that outlines created in the outline window are separate, individual files. However, the real value of the CT outliner is how it integrates with the rest of the application. If this were the extent of the outliner in CT, it’d stand fairly well with some of the other outliners I’ve reviewed. Outline hoisted to the Outer Planets heading with a couple of check boxes.
And you can individually apply check boxes to entries. You can hoist an entry using CTRL-PageUp likewise CTRL-PageDown de-hoists the selection. Building an outline is pretty fast in this nimble outliner. Move entries around with the combination of the CTRL key and appropriate arrow key. CTRL-Enter again creates a sibling entry SHIFT-Enter creates a child entry. Type your heading then press Enter to end editing. Use the CTRL-Enter key combination to create your first item.

The window can be free floating or docked to the main window and opens in the position it was in when you last closed it. Open the outlining window (via the View menu), you’re presented with this unassuming little window: The unassuming little outline view with a new outline. I’m going to start with and concentrate on the dedicated outlining window, but I’ll cover the second way within this context toward the end of this review. Really there are two ways to outline in CT. I’m not going to actually make this part of the OneNote Smackdown, because it has been too long since I was in that mind frame and I can’t reproduce it well enough to do an accurate comparison. But outlining in CT is interesting because there are some unique wrinkles, so here we go.
This is the long-awaited review of the outliner in ConnectedText.
