outline view
I have a document that I prefer to view in the Outline view. WHen I save the
document, I save and close it with just the main headers showing. When I reopen the document, the entire document is open, not just the headers showing. I have looked for some way to control this to no avail. I want to open it just the way I closed it. How to? Thanks -- sam |

I'm afraid there's no out-of-the-box method to do what you ask for. IOW, the H&F view is one of the few you cannot preserve like that. You can of course create an AutoOpen-Macro which simply switches to that view. But before going that route, tell us why you want the document to open in the header first (maybe there's a good alternative to what you are asking that does not need any code-based automation at all). 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

outline view
It's the headings (in Outline view) that he wants to see, not headers.

outline view
If the document is saved in Outline view, it will open in that view.
But for Word to display only specific heading levels, a macro is needed. A simple version would be something like this (stored in normal.dot): Sub AutoOpen() If ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdOutlineView _ Or ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdMasterView Then ActiveWindow.View.ShowHeading 3 'Specify the desired level End If End Sub See http://gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for assistance. For a more advanced solution, try asking in a programming newsgroup. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "smk23" wrote in message ... I have a document that I prefer to view in the Outline view.
