Changing style of Level 4 in Outline
I'm using Word in Office 2003.
In Outline View I've created text at 4 levels with headings etc. Each level gets automatically formatted with styles: Heading 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. But I want to change Level 4 to using a Bullet Text style instead of a Heading style. I feel there must be a way of doing this - but all I can find is the option to change the Heading 4 style but it will still be called Heading 4. I hate the Word help now, find it really hard to use, eg I can't find Outline in the Table of Contents. I have tried to find the answer to my question in offline and online help, but I failed. Do other people hate it? |

Much the simplest plan is to format Heading 4 style to the bulleted layout
you want. The fact that it will be called Heading 4 is irrelevant. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org BCP wrote: I'm using Word in Office 2003.

OK, I suppose this is the only answer. Thanks.

It's not the only answer.
You could also modify any existing bulleted style to have an outline level of 4 (which is paragraph formatting), and then run a Find & Replace to replace all Heading 4 with your bulleted style. Putting bullets on Heading 4 is going to be fewer steps, and there are good reasons for using the built-in heading styles for all headings, and if it isn't a heading, the outline level should probably be body text. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...ingStyles.html On 8/1/05 5:34 AM, "BCP" wrote: OK, I suppose this is the only answer.
