Synchronization of outline level with Bulleted level
I am using Word 2003 in Windows XP and would like to create a bulleted list
that synchronizes the bullet level with the outline level that one sees when switching to the Outline View (or, vice versa--synchonizing the outline level created in the Outline View with an appropriate bullet in a normal view). Is there an easy way to do this? Word seems to have no problems applying this type of formatting with a numbered list, but not with a bulleted list. I created an outline a few days ago using the Outline View, only to find out that the "outline" structure wasn't emulated in the print view when I went to print. Simply selecting the outlined text & applying a bulleted list pattern to it did not achieve the effect of emulating the outline view by adding a distinct bullet per outline level with the appropriate indention. Instead, doing so rendered the same bullet icon with no indention change. My goal: rather than creating the outline inside the outline view, I'd love to create a bulleted list in the normal/print view and then switch over to the outline view to be able to collapse/expand levels of the bulleted list. |

Synchronization of outline level with Bulleted level
The outline level of a paragraph is different from its numbering level
(as you've noticed). Outline view uses the Outline Level option in Format | Paragraph, Indents and Spacing tab. You can assign outline levels manually, but this will be a tedious task. Instead, for each level of bullets, use a specific paragraph style. For example, you can use the built-in List Bullet, List Bullet 2, etc. styles. Set the appropriate Outline Level (in the Modify Style dialog box: click Format, click Paragraph, Indents and Spacing tab) for each style. Then define an outline list based on these styles. See the "How to set up your List Bullet styles to get several levels of indented bullets" section of the article at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jason" wrote in message ...
