Trouble with Word 2007 in Outline Mode
I am having trouble with Word 2007 in Outline mode. I have a multilevel
Outline document. I have colasped the document so that I only see items at level 4 and less. I have a topic at level 4 in the outline that has some content inside at deeper levels. This topic is preceeded by a plus sign that indicates that there is more content inside. I want to add another topic following this topic at level 4, so I position my input cursor at the end of the text of the topic on level 4 and hit the enter key. This should create a new topic at level 4 without moving the collasped content within the previous topic. This is how previous verions of Word in outline mode worked. Instead it creates a new topic at level 4 and moves all of the internal contents of the previous topic under the newly created topic. For example, let's say we have a document in Outline mode with several levels of content. Let's say we have a topic at level 4 called "Level 4 Stuff". There is more content under "Level 4 Stuff" at lower levels. The document is collasped so that only levels 4 and less are shown. Now we want to add another topic after "Level 4 Stuff" called "More Level 4 stuff". How do I do that without expanding any of the document topic and without moving the content under "Level 4 Stuff"? Shouldn't just pushing the Enter key with the Insert cursor at the end of the line "Level 4 Stuff" work this way? Any assitance appreciated. Don Baechtel |

Yes, that is the way it should work. I think you've discovered another bug,
which I will report to Microsoft. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

Trouble with Word 2007 in Outline Mode
Thanks for reporting the BUG to MS. I am surprised that this was not found
and fixed earlier. You would think that MS functional testing should have caught this before release. Is there any reasonable way to work around this without a lot of effort? -- Don Baechtel "Dawn Crosier, Word MVP" wrote: Yes, that is the way it should work.

Trouble with Word 2007 in Outline Mode
Place your cursor at the beginning of the next heading style and press Enter
there. Then you will need to up arrow to begin typing, but at least your heading will be in the correct location. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

Trouble with Word 2007 in Outline Mode
What should I do if I am at the end of the document, which I frequently am,
and there is no "next heading"? How do I get a new topic at the same level without disturbing the underlying content?

I'd create a new heading at the previous level like I indicated, and then
drag it to the end. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.
