Is there a way to control the amount by which each outline
level is indented in outline view?

Stefan Blom wrote:
No, the indents for a particular outline level in Outline view
are determined by Word. What you can do is set "true" indents
via the Paragraph dialog box.

Alternatively, if you are creating a numbered outline, use the
Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box (Word 97-2003) or
the Define New Multilevel List dialog box (Word 2007). For the
general principles, see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html.
If you are using Word 2007 and need further assistance, post
back.

Would I be correct in concluding that the solutions using the
Paragraph dialogue box and Outline Numbered Lists do not apply
to Outline View?

Stefan Blom wrote:
Yes, Outline view displays the hierarchy of text based on the
*outline level* (as defined in the Paragraph dialog box), while
indentation for numbered lists is a different setting.

Thanks for reposting, Stefan, and for the clarification.


You are welcome.
