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” head-
line 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.

Speeding Up MOVEs
If you are moving material around an outline, there are three
ways to speed up the process:
* Use a command prefix to move several positions at
once.
