Here's a method that nobody's mentioned yet. It's not complete or perfect, but it may be useful:
* Create a TOC that extracts all the heading paragraph formats that you want in an outline. Be sure to check Make Hypertext Links. The TOC can be for a single document or a book. * Modify the *TOC paragraph formats to indent the way you want. * Format the TOC page to a narrow column, and a height that's readable when zoomed to full-height on your screen. * Set the zoom to Fit Page to Text Frame. * Arrange your screen with the narrow outline frame next to the document page frame. * Use Frame's Ctrl+Alt+Click on a heading in the TOC to move the insertion point to that heading, so you can edit at that location. * Regenerate the TOC NOTES: - To make the links in the TOC active with a single click, instead of with Ctrl+Alt+Click: tap Escape, tap Shift+F, tap k. The same sequence restores editabiity. - To reuse the outline TOC, save it to a new name. This is handy if you've moved stuff and then need to restore the original order. - Save the "real" TOC with a new name, and save a copy of the narrow outline TOC to a new name. When you want to generate the real TOC, close the outline TOC and delete or rename it, then open the real TOC, save it to the correct name, and generate. HTH Regards, Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices
