Working with Text in Cells
 
When working with text in cells there are special commands.
 
 
Inserting a Blank Line

If you’re editing a cell, pressing Return ends editing.  If you need to insert a blank line in the text, choose Edit → Insert → Line Break.  Cmd-Return is the keyboard shortcut for this command.  You can also press the Enter key to add a blank line.  Choosing Outline → Paragraph Mode sets the Return key to add blank lines instead of end editing (press Option-Return to end editing).
 
 
Inserting a Tab

Pressing the Tab key indents the current cell.  Press Option-Tab insert a tab character in a cell’s text.  In Paragraph Mode, the Tab key inserts a tab instead of changing the cell’s position in the hierarchy.
 
 
Pasting Multi-Line Text as an Outline

When you paste text into a page, NoteBook places that text into a single new cell.  Choose Edit → Paste → Paste Text as an Outline to divide the text into multiple lines, each placed in its own new cell.  NoteBook creates a new cell for every return character in the text, and indents each new cell by the number of tab characters at the beginning of each line.
