Outline mode: Different result when press Return at end of heading
I am using Word 2003 on Windows XP. In outline mode, I have a level 1
heading with an entire of tree of headings and body content subordinate to it. This tree is collapsed so that I only see a gray dithered/hash line beneath the level 1 heading (normal usage of outline mode). The cursor is at the end of the level 1 heading. When I press return, I create a new level 1 heading. One of two things happen with the subordinate tree, depending on the computer that I use. 1. The subordinate tree stays with the first level 1 heading, and the new level 1 heading is beneath the tree. 2. The subordinate tree shifts down and becomes subordinate to the second level 1 heading (which is blank). How is this behaviour controlled? I would like to have behaviour #1 above. Thanks. |

In my experience, scenario 2 occurs only when the shown heading is the last
one displayed in the document that you are working with. For example: + Heading 1¶ + Heading 1¶ -- Pressing Enter at the end of this paragraph would create a new, "empty" Heading 1 paragraph (no subordinate paragraphs) + Heading 1¶ -- Pressing Enter at the end of this paragraph would transfer the subordinate paragraphs to the new Heading 1 paragraph.

Outline mode: Different result when press Return at end ofheading
Stefan, you're right! I copied a document to another machine, wiped
out the content and started anew. Hence, the insertion point was at the last paragraph (of a relatively empty document). Thanks! (Nice backward scripted "P" characters you used -- how did you get them in normal text?)

I'm glad I could help.
To insert the pilcrow (paragraph mark), press Alt+0182 (with NUMLOCK activated). Alternatively, use the Character Map in Windows, or the Symbol dialog box in Word. Note that the shortcut is listed in the Symbol dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul" wrote in message ... Stefan, you're right!

I forgot to mention that 0182 should be typed on the numeric keypad.

I'm surprised it came through on usenet, which is text-only. It even
works when entering text in a text-only fashion e.g. using Google Groups: ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ !! Must be part of the "standard" text character set. Thanks!

It has always been part of the standard character set, along with §; both
are (or used to be) extensively used in legal documents. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Paul" wrote in message ...
