How to hide pictures (and occupied space) in Outline View
I am using Word 2003. When I view my document in Outline Mode, I
would to see only the text content, not the graphics or the space it occupies. That means I don't want to see an empty box that's as big as the graphic, since it is just information-less space that scatters the text content. Is there a way to do this? Having small icons as a placeholders for graphics would be very welcome, since they prevent me from accidentally deleting the graphic, but the vast empty boxes are highly suboptimal. |

How to hide pictures (and occupied space) in Outline View
The graphic displays because it's set to In Line with Text - therefore a
part of the text flow. The only way I can think of is to use some type of Text Wrapping to the graphic. Once converted to a floating object it won't display or occupy space in Normal or Outline views. However, it may also create other problems with the flow of the text that will have to be compensated for in some way. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac wrote in message ... I am using Word 2003.
