Re: Is there a way to identify levels of heads while copyediting?



View>Outline is there in Word X and 2004 and works just the same.

What copyeditors of long documents often do is set the various heading
levels to different colours, using Format>Style. That way you can quickly
differentiate heading levels while working in Normal View. When you have
finished, set them all back to "Automatic" (black).

I have a macro that instantly sets the font colour of Heading 1 to Red,
Heading 2 to Blue, Heading 3 to Green, etc... Run it again and it sets them
all back to Black.

Cheers
