I've never used it. What I do use is multiple topic selection (like in Opal) -- select a bunch of topics and change them all to bold (or whatever). Opal supports discontiguous selection within a topic, but I'll bet almost all Mac outliners do.

potential for multiple discontiguous text selection seems to be a property of rtf and
not plain text. MS Word has it; no plain text editor that I'm aware of does. (Maybe
someone knows of an exception/)
