headings within a table (combine outline view with table structure
This is not a question, but a request for new functionality.
I often use Word to organize information in outline view, which is a great function. But than I want to add information in separate columns, like status information or reminders or whatever, and this is not possible in outline view. I have to revert to using a table. Word allows me to apply heading style to the text in table column 1, this makes i possible to create a visual structure in the table, but it is not possible to collapse of expand a branch in this structure. so I very much would like a combination of a table structure and an outline view. thanks, Henk Koning |

headings within a table (combine outline view with table struc
Note also that a quick way to get an overview of headings in table cells is
to create a table of contents without page numbers; you can then cut and paste the TOC into a new document and unlink it (Ctrl+Shift+F9). Print the TOC (or save it as a separate file). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Henk Koning" wrote in message ... good idea! thank you! "Suzanne S.

That is an interesting suggestion for whenever I want to extract the heading
information from the table. Thank you. At this moment I don't want to do that. I want (would like) to use the headings to quickly move around (via document map) or hide/show part of the content of the table.

Indeed, it is quite useful--and it's currently the best that we can do. :-(
