Alphanumeric Outlines use numbers, letters, and periods to organize information. The first letter of the word, group of words, or sentence that follows each symbol is capitalized. • Main ideas are listed as Roman numerals on the left margin and are followed by periods. • Examples: I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X.
Major details are listed as Arabic numerals and are indented on the lines below the main ideas. Major details modify the main ideas. Modify means to describe, change, or limit. The Arabic numerals are capitalized and are followed by periods. Examples: A., B., C. • The first minor detail modifies the major detail and is double indented on the next line. It begins with the Arabic numeral 1 followed by a period. • The second minor detail is double indented on the next line and listed as 2.
