Bullet lists: Collapse away different levels of indentation
The outline view is great at collapsing away headings of varying
outline levels. Normal text or body text is considered the most subordinate of outline levels. I would like bullet lists to be even subordinate to normal text, and I also want different levels of subordination within the bulletted list, depending on the indentation of the bulletted paragraph. Is there a way to do this? My goal is to be able to collapse away the details of all (or selected) bullet lists unless I encounter a list that I want to lift the lid on. Makes it easier to navigate the content. Thanks. |

Bullet lists: Collapse away different levels of indentation
Outline View is control by the allocation of the Outline Level on the
Paragraph dialog. You could use any of the levels, such as level 5 to 9 which are not being used by your Headings. Beware though, other parts of Word also use the Outline Level to function, such as Document Map and Table of Contents. So you will have to consider the pros and cons of doing this assignment.

Bullet lists: Collapse away different levels of indentation
I've assigned outline levels to Body text and the bullet styles.
However, this makes them no longer subordinate to all heading levels, unless I limit the number of heading levels so that there are enough levels for for the Body text and bullet styles. In Outline view, this would give too much indentation a bullet style compared to a heading immediately above it. I guess what I'm looking for is equivalent to a dynamic level assignment for body and bullets. For example, for Body text immediately follow a level 3 heading, the body text would automatically take on level 4, a first level bullet would take on level 5, a second level bullet would be level 6, etc.. For Body text and bullets immediately following a level 2 heading, the effective body and bullet levels would be one less. Not exactly suited to how Word hard codes the Outline Level into a paragraph style, it seems. DeanH wrote: Outline View is control by the allocation of the Outline Level on the Paragraph dialog.
