copy visible text
I'd like to know if there is a way in Word when I have the document viewed
in Outline to copy just the visible levels of text without getting everything in between. I am viewing a certain level (ie. Level 3) and only want to copy those level headings. I know this is an option in Excel but I haven't come across it in Word. I'm on Windows XP using Office 2003. Dave French |

I don't think so...I think the best you can do is temporarily create a TOC
pulling only level 3, then UnLink the TOC Field and copy that, then delete it. (You can print just what you see in Outline View, just make sure you don't go into Print Preview first, if that's any use) For the TOC method, start he http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html The TOC will be a field, to keep the text in it from changing, you need to either lock it or convert it to text. See the Help topic " Prevent changes to information inserted by a field" on how to do that. This feature would be nice--but see here for why the current behavior is nicer: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingOLView.htm Ideally, there would be a command to let us do both...
