In the Outline pane on the right, you right click the word "Headings."
A pop-up menu appears. Select one of the options as decribed below (from the Creating Outline Headings help section).
>>Insert Before: inserts a heading before the selected heading at the same heading level.
Insert After: inserts a heading after the selected heading at the same
heading level.
Insert Under: inserts a heading under the selected heading (the new heading is at the heading level below the selected one).
<<
Or click in the Outline Pane. Then click the "Insert New Item Under the Selected Item" button on the toolbar. It's the only button that's available if you are in the Outline pane and you have no other headings.
A dialog box appears that says "Heading Detail." Type in your Heading Title and click Save. A new heading appears below "Headings" in the Outline pane.
Does that help?

The easiest way to assign an idea to a heading is to use drag-and-drop. Click on the idea (holding down the mouse button) and drag the idea to the appropriate heading. IdeaWeaver adds the idea under the heading.
If the heading already has ideas under it, you can drag the new idea to the heading itself or to one of the ideas under the heading. If you drop the idea on the heading, the idea becomes the first idea under that heading. If you drop the idea on another idea, the new idea is placed after the idea you dropped it on. You can also drag-and-drop your ideas from one place in the outline to another.
The other way to assign headings is to use the Assign Headings dialog. Click on the idea to select it, and then click the Headings tab down in the preview pane. Click the Edit Assignments button and you'll see the Assign Headings dialog, which displays a heading check list. To assign the idea to a particular heading, just put a check mark next to that heading. Uncheck to remove the assignment. If you have a large outline, this method can make it easier to see where an idea was used, as opposed to scrolling through the outline looking for it.

| I am just not getting how this thing works. When I'm looking at my list of ideas, none of the things are working that I'm intuitively trying in order to add a heading. |

| When I right click on headings, none of the items in the drop down menu are showing as active options. |

To use the drop-down menu in the heading list, first select (left-click) on the heading you want to work with. Once the correct heading is highlighted, then right-click to display the popup menu. Note that you can also use the buttons on the toolbar, once the heading is selected.
If you already have a few headings in your list and you still get no active items on the popup menu, it is probably because the top "Headings" node is the currently selected node. Once you add the first heading for your project, the "Headings" node is just a place-holder and doesn't do anything. You need to click on one of the headings you added.
If you are doing a lot of header work, you may be able to save yourself some time using the keyboard shortcuts. You can use the arrow keys to move around the headings and use the Insert key to do an "insert under" (handy if you are adding a lot of headings at the same level). You can use F2 to edit the currently selected heading, and the Delete key to remove it. |
