I like use the outline view for writing articles and papers. In
outline
view, I develop my outline and then compose the text of the
article
within
each section of the outline by using body text. My problem comes
when I am
finished. I cannot find a way to drop the outline headings so
that
only the
body text remains. I have to view it in print preview and
manually
delete
every heading and subheading. Is there a better way? I am using
MS
Word
