Determine the audience you are writing for. Order - Divide this material into groups arranging from the general to the specific, or from abstract to concrete. Label - Create main and subtopic headings and write coordinate levels in parallel form. That is, nouns should be made parallel with nouns, verb forms with verb forms, adjectives with adjectives, and so on. Reasonableness and flexibility of form is preferred to rigidity.
Coordination is a principle that enables the writer to maintain a coherent and consistent document.
Wordstar is a type of word processing program and should be treated as a subdivision. Thinktank is a type of organizational program. In order to indicate relevance, that is levels of significance, an outline uses major and minor heading. Thus in ordering ideas you should organize material from general to specific or from abstract to concrete - the more general or abstract the concept, the higher the level or rank in the outline. This principle allows your material to be ordered in terms of logic and requires a clear articulation of the relationship between component parts used in the outline.
