Sorry, the message board stripped out my image I attached.

Here's what I'm trying to shoot for:

I'd like it to intuitively know that 1st and 2nd level go  
horizontally, 3rd and 4th level go vertically in a template using  
outline mode. Is that an impossible feat to have happen without moving  
things around myself?

Cheers,

I'm not clear on what you're asking.  Can you give more details on the  
formatting specifications you'd like to use (or even examples of what  
the current pre-sets are for OmniGraffle)?  For example, are you  
concerned with the shape of the nodes?  The presence of arrows?  The  
distance between the nodes?  The formatting of the text?  The  
direction of the flow?

You can change the appearance of many aspects of a diagram by using  
the Diagram Style option (Format > Diagram Style....).  You can create  
your own diagram styles using File > New Resource > New Diagram  
Style.  Does that help?
