  • C:\Doc\Courses\Research\Handouts
    Research Methods Using Writing Tools on a Computer I. Some helpful software tools for writers. A. Idea processor or outliner. 1. An idea processor is special type of word processor program that is optimized for creating an outline. 2. An idea processor or outliner is very useful for planning a paper or sermon. It is excellent for writing the rough draft. You focus on getting down your ideas, not the order of presentation. You can easily rearrange the orders of point and subpoints. It is great for brainstorming alone or with a group. 3. An idea processor compared to a word processor: a. Advantages: An idea processor is more powerful for manipulating changes than the automatic outline feature in most word processors. It is easy to move points around. If you move a point, all the subpoints move with it. You can hide the details and view only the desired levels of points. The outline feature in a word processor is fine if you do not move things around too much. A word processor does not carry subpoints with higher level points when you move them, unless you mark the whole section as a block. Because a word processor is concerned with the appearance of text, it is easier for your outline to get messed up so you lose your train of thought when you are brainstorming. With an idea processor you only focus on the concepts and not the appearance. b. Disadvantages: It may not be easy to transfer your outline to a word processor. Usually you can move the text, but the outline structure may not convert to the desired appearance in your word processor.
