Now I have decided that it really should be two different documents, two different outlines.
How do I go about splitting an outline?
I tried to copy (from the original outline) and paste into a new outline that I have just created, but nothing happens.
I tried to drag from one to the other but only get an error msg (although before I release the mouse button in the new document it’s showing a big green “plus”)…
That’s very odd, both of those methods should work. What version of OmniOutliner and OS X are you using? Perhaps a screencast trying to do this might reveal something.
It is very odd, indeed, because tonight I can’t recreate the problem!!!
The other day, the “source” outline section that I wanted to remove from the source document and use to create a new document contained both an embedded document and a linked document. I thought this might have been the cause of the problem, so I recreated similar conditions, but everything worked perfectly this time! Both by using the Copy-and-Paste method and the dragging method!
I’m baffled. There must have been something peculiar about yesterday’s original document but I can’t figure out what it coud have been… Yet, I did get that odd error msg… (And I did copy and paste, individually, the dozen lines that I wanted to transfer to a new document…)
Sorry for the trouble. (By the way, I’m using OS X 10.10.5 and OO 4.4.1)
