You can choose to work in a window or in a distraction-free full-screen mode, selecting from a set of beautiful built-in themes. As you write, you&#8217;ll be able to see some key statistics about your content so you can track progress towards your goals.

The more advanced environment also includes document password encryption, keyboard shortcut options for every menu item, and support for OPML editing. Other features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Smarter Paste \u2014 To avoid bringing in extra styles when copying data from outside sources, Paste now removes styles but retain links and images. Use the new Paste with Original Style to retain the styles from your source content.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>New File Format \u2014 While .ooutline files are zipped by default, package files are still available for scenarios where that makes more sense, like for version control.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Inspector Sidebar \u2014 The inspectors are now contained in a sidebar, allowing you to show or hide them on a per-document basis.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Style View \u2014 When selecting a style in the Styles sidebar, rows that are affected by that style appear highlighted in the outline.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Side Margins \u2014 Lock the outline column to a specific width and keep your outline centered in the window with side margins.
