Outline view: How to control amount of indentation?
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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul" wrote in message ...

Stefan, I managed to view your post via another reader. Would I be correct in concluding that the solutions using the Paragraph dialogue box and Outline Numbered Lists do not apply to Outline View? |

Outline view: How to control amount of indentation?
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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul" wrote: On Mar 18, 12:50 pm, Paul wrote: Is there a way to control the amount by which each outline level is indented in outline view?
