Re: Outline view: How to control amount of indentation?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Yes, Outline view displays the hierarchy of text based on the *outline level*
(as defined in the Paragraph dialog box), while indentation for numbered
lists is a different setting.

No, the indents for a particular outline level in Outline view are
determined by Word. What you can do is set "true" indents via the
Paragraph dialog box.

Alternatively, if you are creating a numbered outline, use the
Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box (Word 97-2003) or the
Define New Multilevel List dialog box (Word 2007). For the general
principles, see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. If
you are using Word 2007 and need further assistance, post back.

Stefan Blom,

Your follow-up shows up in GoogleGroups as an entry in the tree, but
the actual post doesn't appear. Would you mind reposting? Thanks.

Stefan,

I managed to view your post via another reader.

Would I be correct in concluding that the solutions using the
Paragraph dialogue box and Outline Numbered Lists do not apply to
Outline View?
