Set the default outlining level display in Word 2007
When I switch to Outline view, the default shows all the lines of the text.
I'd like by default to show only the Level 2 headers. Or Level 1, 2, and 3. This used to work in Word 2003, but I can't make it work in Word 2007. |

Are you saying that switching views in a Word session changes the
collapsed/expanded state of headings in Outline view? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rudy" wrote: When I switch to Outline view, the default shows all the lines of the text.

You could intercept the command with a macro saved in the normal template eg
Sub ViewOutline() With ActiveWindow .ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView .View.ShowHeading 2 End With End Sub which will show up to level 2 - change 2 to 3 for levels 1 2 and 3 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rudy wrote: When I switch to Outline view, the default shows all the lines of the text.

While you were replying, I was checking that it would still work

Set the default outlining level display in Word 2007
No, once I have set the state of the headings to be collapsed for a document
in a session, the state persists. But when I close down the session and start up later in, say, Draft mode (my preferred workign mode), and if I then switch to OUtline view, I always get the (to my way of thinking) unreasonable default behavior that the view is uncollapsed until I use the Outlining | Show Level control and set it to, like Level 2. It seems like if you are going to Outlining view your expectation would normally be that the headings are collapsed by default, otherwise why would you even be looking at an outline view? And I do think was the default behavior in the old Word.

I think the outline display level once was saved with the document, but it
has been several versions... I'm not even sure if it worked in Word 97 (which is the first version that I used).
