Thank you. That appears to be the answer. And I've learned something new.
With that discovery, however, I've also discovered the extent of the
formatting problem. I don't know how or why it happened, but it seems every
instance of the six outline levels I'm using has its own indent formatting.
(One level 3 has a 1.25 indent, while another 3 has .75", etc...) Given what
you've shown me, would it be possible to create a default indent position for
each level and apply them to the entire document in one sweep, so that all
levels fall into the new and appropriate default positions? Otherwise, I'm
facing the line-by-line correction of an extremely long document. Help...?

In what way is the second level "promoted"? Are you saying that its
indent is different? Note that the indents seen in Outline view reflect
the *outline level* (in Format | Paragraph), whereas the indents in an
actual printout (or in Print Preview) are determined by the *indent*
settings of the paragraph(s).

I'm working on a document in outline view, and everything is fine
until I
switch to print or normal view, then level 2 in the outline is
promoted to
level 1 and printed as such. Anyone know what's going on and how to
correct
it?
