NOTE: thesis, parallelism, double spacing, line up, capitalization, no I without a II, no A without a B [that continues on], no bold, etc.

ALSO  your handout is done in a font that is 9 point which is much too small. I used it so I could fit it all on the page along with the directions, etc. On-line copy is in 12 point font. Use your regular font for the outline page.

 

The order of entries is

I, A, 1, a, 1), a),   [I have no clue after that. I am interested in a two-level topic [not sentence] outline, Roman numerals and capital letters, no more than three levels under any circumstances.]
