Thanks, Susan,
I can take it from here. Thanks for the base codes and steps.

Jean,
I purposely didn't put an outline style in the template, for a number of
reasons I won't go into here.
You can add your own outline style to DBT. The codes to use are below. I think
you have experience with adding styles, so I won't go through the step-by-step,
but let me know if you need further info.
Beginning Codes: [hi3:1:0:2:0]
Ending Codes: [hi]
I'm assuming you want to do your initial work in Word. Rather than creating
multiple new styles in Word and mapping them to new styles in DBT, the easiest
thing to do is use Word's Exercise with subentries, and then once you open the
file in DBT you can find/replace the exercise style with outline. Assuming you
name your new style outline, here are the steps (make sure you can see codes).
F6
Text to find: E2-ExerciseMultiIndent.
Replace with: outline.
Make sure you check the "Replace stylename" option.
If this is the only time you think you'll use the outline style, you can add
the style to the document only. If you plan on using it again in the future,
you'll want to add the new style and create a new template.

When preparing an outline where the entire text is in an outline format, BANA
rules say to put main entries in cell 3 with runnovers in cell 1. Subentries in
cell 5 with runnovers in cell 1, sub-subentries in 7-1, etc. The DBT English
Textbook de Bana and Word templates do not have numbered styles for 5-1, 7-1,
etc. I can obviously use spaces or something, but might these styles be added
in an upcoming DBT release?
