outline view
In Word 2000, I frequently moved around in large documents by switching to
outline view, placing insertion point in a heading, and switching back to Normal view. I have now changed to Word 2003 and this no longer works. When I switch back to Normal, the text displayed is not in the location I "selected" in the outline. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to restore this capability? |

Hi Doug,
That's a real PITA! I now use Shift+ArrowRight immediately after switching views, which centers the view on the selection again. But I hope very much that this will be fixed. Since many things don't get fixed unless a lot of users complain, you might want to give your feedback on this bug: http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp Regards, Klaus "DougR" wrote: In Word 2000, I frequently moved around in large documents by switching to outline view, placing insertion point in a heading, and switching back to Normal view.

[Selection not visible after swiching from Outline View to Normal View in
Word2003] Switching to Page Layout view, then to Normal view seems like another possible work-around. The problem seems to occur when Outline view doesn't display all text (because heading levels are collapsed, or because only the first line of paragraphs is shown). Klaus |

Thanks for the tip, Klaus. I did submit a request for a fix to Microsoft, as
you suggested. Doug "Klaus Linke" wrote: Hi Doug, That's a real PITA! I now use Shift+ArrowRight immediately after switching views, which centers the view on the selection again.
