Outline Levels Vs Styles
OK, this is really probably something very simple. I want to know how I can
associate an outline level with a Style. I am trying to create a template to prepare documentation for and I want Style like, Module, Section and SubSection etc. So when I Create a new document, I want to be able to see those styles appear for a particular level, so if I demote a Module (top level ) then I want to see it indented and changed to a Section Style Any Ideas ? |

Hi Terry
Modify the Paragraph format of your style. Near the Alignment box (where you set the style to be left, centred or right-aligned) you can change the Outline level of your style. However, depending on what you want to do with your Module, Section, SubSection styles, you might like to read the following: Why use Microsoft Word's built-in heading styles? http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...ingStyles.html Hope this helps.

Thats doesent work, because as soon as you promote or demote the level it
returns to the Style Leveln -- OHM ( Terry Burns ) * Use the following to email me * Dim ch() As Char = "ufssz/cvsotAhsfbuTpmvujpotXjui/OFU".ToCharArray() For i As Int32 = 0 To ch.Length - 1 ch(i) = Convert.ToChar(Convert.ToInt16(ch(i)) - 1) Next Process.Start("mailto:" & New String(ch)) -- "Shauna Kelly" wrote in message ...

Hi Terry
To get the promote / demote system working for a set of custom styles, you have to set them up as a set of numbered styles -- even if you apply no numbering to them. Follow the instructions on the this page: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html When you get to the Bullets and Numbering dialog, and choose the Outline Numbered tab, click on one of the schemes in the top row, and make absolutely sure that you click Reset before you click Customize. Now, in the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog, link your styles to the relevant levels. If you don't have 9 levels in your scheme, make sure the un-used levels are linked to no style and that they have no numbering. For each level, delete anything in the Number Format box, and make sure you've set the level to follow the "numbering" with a Nothing. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
