You could use numbered styles like 5/5, 7/7 but that would be incorrect
formatting. The other format for outlines which is usually reserved for outline
passages within a body of text has the main entry starting in cell 1 with
runnovers in cell 5. Subentries are 3/7, sub-sub entries 5/9, etc. Personally,
I prefer this format and also dislike the 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 approach.

Is there a way to get outlines to format with haninging indents that make
runover line up under the first character of text in the line with the
number/letter?
I find it very difficult to read outlines that have lines rapping back to the
beginning. I understand it saves paper but at the cost of readability (at
least for me).

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?
