Converting from Outline to Normal View - Formatting Text
I read a message entitled, "Body Text Formatting" and the various replies
posted 3/10-13/07. Somewhere in the discussion string, someone stated that "Outline View is not designed to make it easy to "write" the document, but to make it easy to plan, re-order, navigate, or otherwise manage." Does this mean that after converting your from Outline View to Normal View (or another view), you have to manually format your document? When I switch from Outline to Normal view, there is no formatting whatsoever - no page breaks, no paragraph breaks, etc. If so, why can't Word format it for you based upon your Outline View? MS software is already so intelligent that you'd think it would be able to do automatic formatting. |

Converting from Outline to Normal View - Formatting Text
You can apply headings or other styles with given outline levels in Outline
view, but, as the writer said, that's not what it's primarily for. It's up to you to design your own style hierarchy. -- Suzanne S.
