Toggle between Outline View and non-Outline View
Hello,
In the next version of MS Word, please create an easy way to toggle between Outline View and a regular numbered or bulleted outline in Print View or Normal View. Many people do not use Outline View and become frustrated when they receive a Word document prepared in that view. They are faced with either losing the outline structure including the level insets (if the doc is converted to a non-Outline view) or staying in Outline View and being frustrated with the navigation. Many of these people however are very comfortable using a numbered or bulleted outline created in Print View or Normal View (i.e. I, A,1, a, i, etc.). On the other hand, many people who do use Outline View with no numbering or bulleting find it very useful in the majority of Word documents they create. However, as soon as they want to share a document with someone else, they must either spend the time to convert it to an numbered or bulleted outline in a non-Outline View or take the time to explain how to use Outline View to the recipient. It would be fantastic to be able to simply toggle a document between the two Views in a way that Outline View functionality is preserved (collapsing, expanding, etc.) in one and the other allows a user to see numbering or bulleting and level insets plus have all the functionality they are used to in Print View, etc. This would be a extremely valuable function and save a huge amount of time. Thank you ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Toggle between Outline View and non-Outline View
Note that Outline view and a numbered outline are two different things. To
combine them, associate your headings with an outline-numbered (multilevel) list. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dsavant" wrote in message ...
