How to Merge Two Columns?

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to merge columns, once they’ve been created. If you paste a table (which is likely tab-separated) into OmniOutliner, OmniOutliner assumes you’d like a table!

If you’d like to fix it, you can:

  • copy a row (or collection of rows)
  • paste them into your favorite text editor (TextEdit is free, and built-in)
  • find the tabs and replace them with space(s)
  • paste that back into OmniOutliner

And you’ll have “merged” rows again.

Sorry there’s not a faster way, but if you’d like to email omnioutliner@omnigroup.com, we’d be happy to add you to the open feature request!
