Problems showing level 2 in Outline view
I am having problems viewing level 2 in Outline view of Word 2007. I have
defined two heading levels in the document: Level 1 and level 2. Level 1 appears fine in outline view. Level 2 appears sometimes, and even then it's only for a moment after it is selected from the Show Level list arrow. I have tried converting the document and the template to .docx and .dotx formats. Any suggestions as to how I can get level 2 to show up? Thanks in advance. |

Problems showing level 2 in Outline view
Is this custom or built-in headings? If the former, did you set the outline
level correctly for each style? Is the problem with a particular document (or documents created from a particular template) only? If so, you may want to take a look at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/corruptdoc.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Melissa Peterson" wrote: I am having problems viewing level 2 in Outline view of Word 2007.

Problems showing level 2 in Outline view
This is custom headings, and the outline level is correct for each style.
The problem does only seem to be with documents created from a custom template. Thank you very much for the link, I will look into the corrupt problem. Before I do that though, I have another question: since my original post, I've found that the Level 2 headings appear after selecting a Level 1 heading and clicking the Expand button on the Ribbon. But they still don't appear when selecting Show Level 2 or double-clicking the plus sign next to a heading. Could this just be a bug with Word?

Problems showing level 2 in Outline view
I haven't seen this particular problem, but since it happens with a
particular template (and its documents) it is likely to be template corruption. Make a copy of a problem document, and delete any section breaks in it. Copy the whole document except for the final paragraph mark (Ctrl+A, Shift+Left arrow) and paste into a blank document. If it works correctly after this, then you've gotten rid of the corruption. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Melissa Peterson" wrote in message ...

Wow, that did it. I will have to go back and try to remove the corruption
from the template too. Thank you!
