This sounds like a great use for a keyboard macro Hit S-Tab until you get Contents view which shows headlines only (the rest of the content is folded) and position the cursor on the first headline to be demoted C-x ( M-S-right M-x org-forward-same-level C-x ) Then just C-x e to repeat the macro and demote the current headline and move forward to the next one. If you're demoting consecutive entries then you can do C-x e for the first and just 'e' for each successive one to repeat the macro. (eg. C-x e e e e demotes this headline and the 3 following it) > > 2. Converting heading type > > Sometimes one assumes that the points are 'small' and so are entered > as + points.

You can just use query replace for this Highlight the entries to convert and then C-M-% and change '^ \+' to '**' (or '***' if you are using odd levels only) HTH, -Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
