(M-S- demotes the entire subtree.) Hi Rustom, have you seen this part of the reply? Matt is correct that what you are trying (demoting a region of headlines) works with M-right, but not with M-S-right. The reason for this is that a region might contain incomplete trees, which would led to a contradiction in which headlines should be changed. - Carsten > > > See this section of the manual a list of commands: > http://orgmode.org/manual/Structure-editing.html#Structure-editing > >> 2.
