No, there is no way to change this. Outline view is just an editing view;
its appearance isn't meant to be WYSIWYG.

Hi,
Word 2003.
In Outline View when a heading is collapsed there's a squiggley grey line
under part of the heading text, similar to the spelling or grammar lines.
A
similar post in the powerpoint group says this is on purpose, to tell me
the
heading's collapsed.
Can I disable this feature? It looks messy since it doesn't completely
underline the heading, and it overlaps the text slightly so makes it
harder
to read. Really pretty awekward.
I'd rather see a different method of notifying this, perhaps a change in
color for the 'plus' button to the left of headings.
cheers
