Question on outlines

edited 10:10AM in FastReport VCL 5
Got a couple of questions re. report outlines.

1. Is it possible to have outlines that are global? I split my report over a few pages to make it easier to modify, but the outlines are per-page. So if the first page of my report has 2 levels of outlines, when I add an outline on an object in page 2, it is added under the root level again. Is there an option to have it continue where the outlines left off on the first page?

2. Is it possible to retrieve the current outline level? Sometimes, I need to know if I need to LevelUp or not, depending on the current outline level. Is there a method or property that can tell me the current outline level?

Thanks in advance.

    I am aware that I can place everything on one page, but it isn't feasible, not to mention difficult for my non-technical users to customize. I have a cover page, followed by a page for the table of contents, then 3 other pages that group things logically for my report. To give you an idea of how complex the pages already are, I hit the limit for the page height in the designer before it was increased in a recent version (can't recall which version it was).

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
