Outline toolbar
No, since the Outlining toolbar is context sensitive, it can't be
forced to display in any other view than Outline view. However, you can create a custom toolbar and add the buttons that you need, and use it instead of the built-in Outlining toolbar. Note that if you want to put all of the buttons from the Outlining toolbar on your custom toolbar, you'll find that some of them are greyed out when you are not in Outline view. If you want to disable the Outlining toolbar, you can do the following: 1. Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. 2. Press Ctrl+G to display the Immediate Window. 3. Type CommandBars("Outlining").Enabled = False and press Enter. If you later want to enable the Outlining toolbar, just repeat the above steps, with = True instead of = False. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Allewyn" wrote in message ...

Outline toolbar
Hmmm. The line
CommandBars("Outlining").Visible = True in an autonew macro will force the toolbar on for new documents? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stefan Blom wrote: No, since the Outlining toolbar is context sensitive, it can't be forced to display in any other view than Outline view.

Outline toolbar
When I tested this it generated an error message, if not in Outline
view. My understanding is that although you can use the Enabled property and the Visible property to hide built-in toolbars, you cannot force them to display, if they are context sensitive (which the Outlining toolbar is). (I haven't tested in the most recent version of Word, though.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Hmmm.

Outline toolbar
It certainly works in Word 2003, however it displays a subset of the
commands shown in Outline view -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stefan Blom wrote: When I tested this it generated an error message, if not in Outline view.

Outline toolbar
CommandBars("Outlining").Enabled = true
Ok, I got the Sub or Function not defined error too. Does the thing need a semicolon following true or something. I'll be patient and wiat for the testing  "Stefan Blom" wrote: Interesting!

Outline toolbar
If you are using this as suggsted by Stefan then it should have been 'false'
unless you are bringing it back after dismissing it. If you are using it as suggested by me in an autonew macro then it is not ..Enabled but .Visible that is true.

Outline toolbar
Hey, no prob; I couldn't make any of this work so I just dragged the
outlining symbols to the menu bar, where they are always visible. I appreciate what all tried to do for me!

"Allewyn" wrote in message
news  CommandBars("Outlining").Enabled = true Ok, I got the Sub or Function not defined error too. The error I saw in Word 200 was "Method 'Visible' of object 'CommandBar' failed"; the message is because Word 2000 doesn't allow you to set the Visible property to TRUE (you can set it to FALSE, though). Apparently, this limitation has been removed for Word 2003, where Outlining is also on the ViewToolbars list even if you are not in Outline view. I don't know what caused the error message you were seeing. Are you sure you typed the commands in correctly? If you press Debug in the message box you'll see where execution stopped. Does the thing need a semicolon following true or something. Semicolons are not required in VBA. I'll be patient and wiat for the testing The testing was for my own peace of mind. :-) I didn't expect to find any new information. Graham is a lot more knowledgeable on VBA than I am. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |
