Viewing a document outline

If your document contains headings that use the standard HTML heading tags (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), you can view a hierarchical outline of the document. In case the whole contents of the document is long, you can easily move to the content you want to see. The length of the title in the document outline window can be adjusted by the list level.

Headings that use the <h1> tag are at the highest level; those that use <h6>, at the lowest level.

To reveal the document outline window
  • On the Custom toolbar, click Document Outline, or press Alt+3. (If Document Outline is not visible, add it to the toolbar by opening the Customize dialog box, going to the Commands tab, selecting View on the Categories list and then selecting Document Outline on the Commands list.)
To move around the document using the document outline window
  • In the document outline window, select the content you want to move to.
To specify the levels to view in the document outline
  1. Right-click in the document outline window.
  2. Select the desired level in the shortcut menu. (For example, select “Show List Level 3“, to view only the items on the first three levels.)
