Hi

Tried to work with big hierarchical outline numbered lists.

I need to hide the branches, like in file explorer, for example.
Because the list is really big.

Tried to make everything the headers, but
1) the good tree in document map is on the grey background
2) the tree of headers in document always show the grey lines
over the words if the branch is collapsed

What else can I try to use?

Aleksey

Note that if you want to make the entries in the document map easier to
read, you can change the font and/or size of entries, by modifying the
Document Map paragraph style.

Alternatively, you can use Outline view instead of the document map.

Thanks, I also tried to use the OpenOffice,
there is white background in document map,
but it seems to be a buggy thing, so
I cannot report success.

Peoples devote the web pages to the programs,
which can do it, they call them "outliners".
http://tkoutline.sourceforge.net/wiki/29

It is strange that after more then 10 years of
evolution so natural feature is not normally supported
in MS Word while widely used in MS VS.

It is really pity.

Aleksey.

Although the document map may have its flaws (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DocumentMap.htm), Outline view definitely
works in Word, and it is quite useful too.

For information on creating a numbered or bulleted outline list, see

I really cannot use MS Word outline, because
most of my branches will be collapsed most of the time
and contain the subbranches. When the branch is collapsed
and contains subbranches it is stricken out by downy
grey lines. It is really unacceptable.

I downloaded the EmEditor, it is almost perfect with its
outline add-in. The only problem is that I cannot put the
navigation tree on the left side, it is fixed on the right.

Interesting, why the VS team is sure that the user can
use the small tidy pluses, but MS Word team thinks
that the user needs big ugly white crosses for the same purpose?
Do they think that the ability to hit the 2mmx2mm screen area
by mouse is somehow related to the M.S. in C.S.?
