Issue adding new Outline

Sean314159 · September 7, 2015

Here are the steps:

1) create a new file

2) select screenplay

3) if the inspector, click "edit outline template"

Note: there is one line "body text", "scene", and "scene header".

If I click the "+" nothing happens?

if I click he "-" I can delete the line and recreate a line, but I can't add a second line?

I'm trying to add more detains to the outline in the far left window?

Thanks

PS: Version 3.1.2

Hi Sean314159,

To add additional levels to the outline, first create the styles.

For example,

Create a style named Act and set the heading level to 1.
Create a style named Sequence and set the heading level to 2.

Then click the Edit Outline Template button. You'll be able to add outline levels and labels for the styles you just created.

Hi Steve,

I kind of got it to work, but now when I click "Outline Edit Template" the window won't open? It still works on a new file, but it doesn't work on my file?

Thats odd. Is there anything in the console log? To check:

Open /Applications/Utilities/Console
Enter "Storyist" in the search field.

Let me know what you see.
