Document Map and Outline View Problems
All of a sudden, all my Word documents open in outline view, regardless of
how they are saved. Normally I use print layout view. At about the same time, I developed a problem in Document Map. I should be able to get a pull-down menu with a right mouse click or with Shift-F10. The mouse click no longer works, but Shift-F10 is still OK. Any thoughts? Did I reset some key option without knowing it? Thanks in advance. Ted |

Document Map and Outline View Problems
Both issues are resolved.
Documents no longer open in outline view. Bad behavior stopped for unknown reason. Document map issue resolved when I learned right click drop down menu requires cursor to be in blank area of document map, and not on top of a listed heading "koala824 at Comcast" wrote in message ...

Document Map and Outline View Problems
Documents no longer open in outline view. Bad behavior stopped for unknown
reason. Note that Word saves the view with a document. The view in which new, blank documents open depends on the settings of normal.dot (normal.dotm if you are using Word 2007).

Document Map and Outline View Problems
But AFAIK, it's not possible to save a document in outline view, which is
what makes this so odd. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Document Map and Outline View Problems
I can certainly save a document in Outline view and have it open in that
view again. In Word 2007, perhaps the "Allow opening a document in Draft view" option makes a difference (though I realize it shouldn't, just because it refers to Draft view, not Outline view)? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

I'm probably mistaken, then (haven't actually tried it). For some reason I
thought it was "received knowledge" that you couldn't save in Outline view. -- Suzanne S.
