Transfer bullet text from Journal body to Word headings
I've typed in a lot of text in many Outlook Journal entries as bullet
text at various levels of indentation. I was hoping there was a clever way to transfer this text over the a Word document as various heading levels. For example, in the body of the journal entries, I only use bullet text a indentation levels 0, 2, 4, etc.. I would like to transfer these paragraphs into Word as Heading 1, 2, 3, etc.. That way, I can uset Outline View to selectively collapse huge parts of the information out of view. I thought the bullet text from the Journal entry would paste into Word as Bullet 1, 3, 4, etc., in which case I could use the Style/ Formatting pane to select all paragraphs of a particular style and set them all to an appropriate Heading level. No such luck, all the paragraphs are Normal+Arial,10pt. Is there a way to accomplish this conversion? I'm using Office 2003 on Windows XP. |

No such luck, all the paragraphs are Normal+Arial,10pt. do all paragraphs have the same properties (i.e., indentation etc.)? If so, then you should be able to use the formatting pane, or search/replace if all else fails. Otherwise, try all the options you have for Paste Special. Maybe one will give you different properties for different levels of your Outlook bullets.
