Integrate Outline View with outline number lists
Outline View seems as if it hasn't been touched in years. When I'm faced
with doing an outline in Word, the outline number lists (under bullets and numbering) provide me with far more flexibility and ease of use than Outline View. So how about doing away with Outline View and "replace" it with bullets and numbering. This way, clicking on Outline View provides you with an easy editing environment for bullets and numbering (e.g. with collapse-able headings, etc.) and we're not faced with the bizarre, unreadable font style choices that currently plague Outline View. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Integrate Outline View with outline number lists
Hi ?B?bXNmdF9zdWdnZXN0b3I=?=,
Outline View seems as if it hasn't been touched in years. When I'm faced with doing an outline in Word, the outline number lists (under bullets and numbering) provide me with far more flexibility and ease of use than Outline View. I don't agree. Outline view is excellent for getting an overview of a large document's structure and moving things around within that structure. If you want to do the same with your numbered lists, make sure to set the paragraph level from "body text" to a Level nr. (Best way is to link your numbering with styles, and have the list level part of the each style's definition).

Integrate Outline View with outline number lists
Agreed. The only time I have really used it (and it came through like a
champ) was when I was working on a book for an author who writes books of yoga exercises. She was culling exercises from previous books to include in a new one, and she did a lot of chopping and changing and rearranging. Since each began with a heading, it was very easy to cut/paste or drag/drop as needed in Outline view. -- Suzanne S.
