Having expandalble\hideable levels in an outline
Hi,
Over the past few months I have been making a rather long outline for one for the courses i was taking. Every time I would read something for the course i would takes notes onto it and adds those notes to an ongoing outline which i was making. By the end of this course i had a 30+ page outline. In this outline there are varying levels of detail, each level in (further indented) being a bit more in depth then the one before it. Now that i am finished with the course i thought that i would try and keep using the same outline in courses i do in the future so that i can cut down on how much my brain is scattered. The only problem with this is that i don't need so much detail in every subject i took notes on this time around for all of the other courses i will have. Because of i was wondering if there was anyway, within word out outside of word, which i could take my outline and make it so that i can expand only certain headings (you know like those + and - things you see in dialogs such as the device manager)? I put a link to one of my outlines he http://tinyurl.com/2wlaz (http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~sirwin/...s/Animalia.doc) Thanks for the help, Dan P.S Because i needed more then 10 levels in a lot of cases i used self indented LSITUM felids after the 10 levels of numbering ran out. |

Modify Word's heading styles (named "Heading 1" through "Heading 9")
to have the desired font formatting and so on, and then define their numbering, using the techniques at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. When you have the desired formatting, save the document as a template. In the future, use File New to create documents that need this type of formatting. And use Outline View to display and print the desired number of heading levels.

Having expandalble\hideable levels in an outline
You just click View | Outline on the menu. Did you read the linked page?
But you need to have Heading Styles applied to the headings for it to work as you want.

Having expandalble\hideable levels in an outline
No, you don't have to retype your text, but since you have applied
numbering without using paragraph styles, you have to reformat your document. There are two ways to handle this: Method 1 ******** For each paragraph of your outline, specify an outline level from the Paragraph dialog (Format Paragraph). When you've done this, you can use Outline View and expand and collapse your outline. However, this approach won't let you save your numbering scheme for future use. Method 2 ******** Alternatively, you can modify the heading styles (which by default have the appropriate outline levels defined) to have the formatting (numbering, indents, font, font size, color and so on) that you need. And then you can apply the appropriate heading style to each paragraph of text. This approach adds the possibility to save your outline to a template for future use. Here's instructions for Method 2: ********************************* Open your document. It's probably a good idea to print it, so that you can easily see the desired formatting. No matter if you choose to print the document or not, you should do a File Save As to make a copy of the document. Work with the copy, just in case anything goes wrong. (If everything goes right, you can then delete the original document!) You can even create a new blank document and work with that instead of with the original document. That way, if you want to create a template, you get a fresh start, since numbering schemes tend to accumulate in documents that has been around for a while, especially if numbering was created without paragraph styles. First define all formatting aspects except for numbering and indents for your heading styles. In other words, modify the Heading 1 style so that it has the font, font size, color and so on that you want for the top level of your numbering scheme. Do the same with Heading 2 through Heading 9. Then define the numbering and indents as described at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. In order to apply this to your existing text, select the entire document and press CTRL+Q, which will remove any direct paragraph formatting (such as numbering). It won't remove the text. Finally, apply the heading styles to the appropriate paragraphs. When you're done, you can select View Outline and expand and collapse text as desired. If you don't want to mess with your existing document, you can perform the procedure described above on a new, blank document and then save it as a template. This adds the advantage of getting a clean template, with no other numbering schemes in it. -- Stefan Blom "Dan Irwin" skrev i meddelandet om...
