edit (@examples.styleTest)

   » true

Select the last line in the document. Now type and execute:
editMenu.setOutline (true)


   » false

This text was already outlined, so no style change took place. Verb returns false to let you know that.

Notes Performs the same action as selecting the Outline command from the Style sub-menu of the Frontier Edit menu.

This verb, like all of the others related to styled text, only works in word processing text windows, not in outlines or tables.

Do not confuse outline style with the Frontier outline datatype.
