The document is not formatted with built-in heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading. Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1 through Heading 9.). Place the insertion point in a heading and select an outline level in the Outline Level box on the Outlining toolbar. For example, click Level 1 in the Outline Level box to format a title as a Level 1 heading.

• Show All Levels is the equivalent of the Show All Headings button in earlier versions of Microsoft Word. Click the arrow in the Show Level box on the Outlining toolbar to see Show All Levels.

• Show Level options are the equivalent of the Show Heading buttons in earlier versions of Word. Click the arrow in the Show Level box on the Outlining toolbar to see the different levels of headings that can be displayed.

If you are already in outline view and the toolbar is not displayed, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Outlining.

In outline view, Microsoft Word indents the text to reflect the various heading levels in a document. When you switch to another view, Word removes the indentations.

In outline view, if you select and copy headings that include collapsed (collapse an outline: Collapse an outline in outline view to hide body text and subheadings under headings. Collapsing a heading is the opposite of expanding. When you collapse body text and subheadings, you can focus on fewer details.) subordinate text, the collapsed text is also copied. You cannot copy only the visible headings.

You can, however, quickly list the headings in a table of contents, and then copy them from there.

When you create the table of contents, be sure to clear the Show page numbers and Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers check boxes. After you create the table of contents, select it, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to convert the table of contents to regular text. You can then copy the headings from the table of contents.

In outline view, paragraph formatting (paragraph formatting: Formatting that controls the appearance of a paragraph. Examples include indentation, alignment, line spacing, and pagination.) doesn't appear, and the paragraph formatting commands are not available. To view or modify paragraph formatting, switch to another view.

If you print a document from outline view, any manual page breaks (page break: The point at which one page ends and another begins. Microsoft Word inserts an "automatic" (or soft) page break for you, or you can force a page break at a specific location by inserting a "manual" (or hard) page break.) that show on the screen are reflected in the printed document. To temporarily remove page breaks, save the document, and then delete the page breaks. After you print, close the document without saving the changes.

• If the document is formatted with built-in heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading. Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1 through Heading 9.), you can print just the headings. Use the buttons on the Outlining toolbar to display only what you want to print.

• If you formatted the headings with styles other than the built-in heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading. Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1 through Heading 9.) (Heading 1 through Heading 9) or outline levels (outline level: Paragraph formatting you can use to assign a hierarchical level (Level 1 through Level 9) to paragraphs in your document. For example, after you assign outline levels, you can work with the document in outline view or in the Document Map.) (Level 1 through Level 9), you can print the headings as a table of contents and omit the page numbers. You need to specify the styles that you used to format the headings.

• If you aren't using built-in heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading. Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1 through Heading 9.), you can impose a hierarchical structure on your document by assigning outline levels (outline level: Paragraph formatting you can use to assign a hierarchical level (Level 1 through Level 9) to paragraphs in your document. For example, after you assign outline levels, you can work with the document in outline view or in the Document Map.) to your paragraphs. The built-in heading styles apply specific formatting, while the outline levels apply an "invisible" format. Switch to print layout view (print layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.), and select a paragraph that you want to assign an outline level to. On the Format menu, click Paragraph, and then click the Indents and Spacing tab. In the Outline level box, click the level that you want.

• You can also use the buttons on the Outlining toolbar to apply outline levels.

• Press CTRL+TAB.
