Reducing indent space for outline headings
Hi. I am using the outline function a lot and think currently the lower
headings are indented too far into the text space and wasting the space. I want to have less indent for the lower headings so I can have more text under it. 1 Corpus linguistics: grammar patterns 1.1 Definition of grammar patterns -- Too much indent Text body 1 Corpus linguistics: grammar patterns 1.1 Definition of grammar patterns -- Less indent, more text space Text body Is there any way to reduce the heading indents? Somebody answered "modify the style". This is not helpful. I know I need to modify the style, but where do you start? |

Reducing indent space for outline headings
"Outline function" do you mean the Outline View and not the Outline Numbering?
Editing the style will not affect the indents you see in the Outline View. Editing the styles will affect the indents you get in relation to the Outline Numbering. To affect the indents you see in the Outline View and consequently get more space for your text, change the default tab stops setting in the Format Tab dialog box (top right).

Reducing indent space for outline headings
Actually, if you're using outline numbering, the indents and tabs must be
set in the Numbering dialog, not Paragraph or Tabs. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "DeanH" wrote in message ...

To modify a style, see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html, but note that indents and tabs in outline-numbered styles must be set in the Numbering dialog; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html -- Suzanne S.
