Thanks for reporting the BUG to MS. I am surprised that this was not found
and fixed earlier. You would think that MS functional testing should have
caught this before release.

Is there any reasonable way to work around this without a lot of effort?

Yes, that is the way it should work. I think you've discovered another bug,
which I will report to Microsoft.

I am having trouble with Word 2007 in Outline mode. I have a multilevel
Outline document. I have colasped the document so that I only see items at
level 4 and less. I have a topic at level 4 in the outline that has some
content inside at deeper levels. This topic is preceeded by a plus sign that
indicates that there is more content inside. I want to add another topic
following this topic at level 4, so I position my input cursor at the end of
the text of the topic on level 4 and hit the enter key. This should create a
new topic at level 4 without moving the collasped content within the
previous
topic. This is how previous verions of Word in outline mode worked. Instead
it creates a new topic at level 4 and moves all of the internal contents of
the previous topic under the newly created topic.

For example, let's say we have a document in Outline mode with several
levels of content. Let's say we have a topic at level 4 called "Level 4
Stuff". There is more content under "Level 4 Stuff" at lower levels. The
document is collasped so that only levels 4 and less are shown. Now we want
to add another topic after "Level 4 Stuff" called "More Level 4 stuff". How
do I do that without expanding any of the document topic and without moving
the content under "Level 4 Stuff"?

Shouldn't just pushing the Enter key with the Insert cursor at the end of
the line "Level 4 Stuff" work this way?

Any assitance appreciated.
