Re: 9 levels of outline indentation is not enough!

Hi, Suzanne,

thanks for your reply.

My brain is quite human, I assure you! My last project like this reached 22
levels at one point in the outline; it just depends on the type of analysis
being done. However, that was a manual project and I really hope to
computerize the next one.

So far as differentiating, I could use any concise series of numbers and
digits combined with parens or brackets, I would really be using spatial
indentation as my primary visual context indicator. In a manual project I
usually use 1/4 inch graph paper to keep levels aligned.

I really would like to use Word, it provides so many useful tools plus the
ability to easily edit.

Is one really limited to 9 levels of indentation in a Word outline? Is there
no way to expand this? Could one define styles that would be easy to use? Of
course one of the great advantages with Word outlines is that one can
reassign levels so easily.

Anyway, any suggestions appreciated! Or, if it just can't be usefully done
in Word it would be better to know now than later.

Bob
