Autoformat didn't help. I'll guess if I want to do it, I will take your
advice and write VBA code. Thanks for your help. (It seems like a simple
feature that I wish would be included in the product)

Using a copy of your text file, try AutoFormat and see what happens.
Otherwise, can you do it? Yes, by writing a separate vba program that
recognizes codes you put into your text file and applies heading styles as
you designate in response to those codes. Enjoy.

Your solution is only from working within Word. My issue is that I have an
hierarchical information that I can generate a text file from. Then I want
Word to take this text file and import it as an outline. Can I do that?
Example:
Text file is (or any other format which I can programmatically generate):
1,A
2,B
2,C
1,D
2,E
3,G
Then Word needs to take this file and outline it like this:
+ A ----B
| ----C
|
+ D-----E
|-------G
(A is the parent of B and C, D is a sibling of A and a parent of E, E is a
parent of E)
Does someone know of a way to do it?

How can I create a word outline file from a text file. I can format the
text
file any way I want with the level information, but I couldn't find any
way
to import this to Word. I have some kind of hierarchy that I want to
view
using Word outline (when I can see levels and expand them ans search)
