Outline
We have many pages that look like they are outlines but they were not all
typed that way. If a list was typed as a numbered list, I can easily change it to an outline. However, I have a list where the first level is not typed using Format | Bullets and Numbering and the second level is typed using a numbered list. Is there a way I can easily convert the entire psuedo outline to an actual outline? E.G.: 1. Level 1 text (Not typed as numbered or outline) a. Level 2 text (Typed as numbered) b. Level 2 text (Typed as numbered) 2. Level 1 text (Not typed as numbered or outline) a. Level 2 text (Typed as numbered) b. Level 2 text (Typed as numbered) Ideas? TIA Guy |

Outline
Hi Guy
First thing - which version are you using? This might be easier in 2003 because of the 'select text with similar formatting' option Second - outline view level is determined by the paragraph outline level of the style Third - everyone's favourite format painter should be a great help. If you have no idea what I'm going on about, post back.

Outline
Sorry--I'm using 2002
The Format Painter is useless--I've tried. The problem is, in my example below, where it says Level 1 text, the typist typed the number and then spaced to the text. In Level 2 text, the typist used numbering using a, b, c, d. I want to turn the entire thing into an outline so I can uniformly apply the outline settings used for all the other outlines I have.

Outline
Define an outline-numbered list linked to a set of styles as described in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. Apply the styles appropriately. You'll need to remove the manual numbering from the Level 1 style. For Level 2, you should be able to use Select All in the Styles & Formatting task pane to select all the paragraphs that have the a, b, c numbering applied; then apply your Level 2 style. -- Suzanne S.
