Help with outlining - what happened to the Outline level buttons in 2003?
I'm currently using Word 2003.
In previous versions of word, there use to be buttons that would collapse the text under various levels of headers when in Outline mode. The beauty was that you could look at only the main level, or the main + Secondary level, or main + secondary + tertiary, or . .. etc, depending on which button was clicked. This feature seems to be gone from 2003. Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong or have missed something? Thanks for any advice. -- Dab Cut off: yourhead to respond |

When in Outline View, go to View | Toolbars and see if you can call the
Outlining toolbar. That's what had the buttons. On 5/24/05 3:21 PM, "Dab" wrote: I'm currently using Word 2003.

Hi Daiya:
That's the first place I looked, unfortunately, the new toolbar doesn't have the buttons anymore. -- Dab Cut off: yourhead to respond "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .

Oh. I'm not very familiar with Word 2003, so I don't know if they removed
anything, and I'm not quite sure what your description means. In my version, there are icons with just the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, etc on them--hitting 1 shows all the text in level 1--hitting 2 shows all the text that is in level 1 and level 2, and so forth. Is that what you want? If that's it, you should be able to dig those commands out of Tools | Customize and drag them onto your toolbar--in my version they are named ShowHeading1, etc, and listed under View. Alternatively, hitting Reset for the Outlining Toolbar in Tools | Customize might bring them back. If that isn't what you want, are you sure it was a built-in feature in the previous version, and not something your work set up specially or anything?

There's a list box on the toolbar from which you select the lowest level you
want displayed. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Susanne:
Weird. There was no box, and no what to add one through customization, however, I rebooted my computer this morning and now the box has appeared.

Hi Daiya: I was able to add the buttons (And the show levels box appeared after a reboot). Thanks for the suggestion. -- Dab Cut off: yourhead to respond "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. . Oh.
