Grey line under headings in Outline view
Hi,
Word 2003. In Outline View when a heading is collapsed there's a squiggley grey line under part of the heading text, similar to the spelling or grammar lines. A similar post in the powerpoint group says this is on purpose, to tell me the heading's collapsed. Can I disable this feature? It looks messy since it doesn't completely underline the heading, and it overlaps the text slightly so makes it harder to read. Really pretty awekward. I'd rather see a different method of notifying this, perhaps a change in color for the 'plus' button to the left of headings. cheers |

No, there is no way to change this. Outline view is just an editing view;
its appearance isn't meant to be WYSIWYG. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "michael" wrote in message ... Hi, Word 2003.

Grey line under headings in Outline view
OK, good to know so I can at least force myself to make peace with it. I'm
not worried about it interfering with printing or such. It just makes outline mode a little annoying by making the text harder, less enjoyable to read. BTW, I've started using outline mode for things like todo lists so I can easily collapse all the headings and get overviews, etc. Is there a mode better suited to this that you know of? "Suzanne S.
