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)
