Collapsible menu in Word Is there a way (not in outline view) to setup a collapsible menu or outline in Word. I have a Computer Tips & Tricks letter created in Word that's starting to get large enough that it's not easy to scan down the topics. I would like to have the "subject" lines visible and then be able to click on one to show the details. Like you can do in html. Below is an example: (The 1st subject line is Windows 95 & 98 and the 2nd is Windows ME and XP.) As you can imagine, by the time you get 50 subjects with a "how to" outline under it, it gets pretty unruly. Windows 95 & 98 - Restore the Registry to an earlier stable time (See below for Windows ME and XP 1. First you must make a "Start up" and disk. Click here for instructions 2. Shutdown the computer 3. Insert the "Start up" disk into the “A” drive and turn the computer on. 4. The computer will start in a DOS mode. 5. You will see an "A" prompt that looks like "A:\" with a flashing cursor to the right. 6. Type exactly as follows c:\windows\command\scanreg/restore 7. That will scan your “Registry files and then give you a choice of dates to restore back to. 8. With you’re up and down "arrow" keys, click on the most recent date when you know the computer was working properly. The mouse doesn't work in DOS. 9. Press the Inter key on your keyboard 10. Take out the Start up disk 11. Press the Inter key again to restart your computer. Note: There are no spaces in the c:\windows\command\scanreg/restore Note: Notice there is a forward slash (/) after scanreg not a back slash (\) Note: To cancel the operation prior to clicking on Restore, press the right "Arrow" key which will change the focus from a Restore to Cancel. Then press Inter on the keyboard. Windows ME and XP - Restore the Registry to an earlier stable time (See above for Windows 95 and 98 1. Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System tools and System restore. 2. Click in the circle to the left of "Restore my computer to an earlier time". 3. Click on a "Next". 4. Choose the most recent date on the calendar when you know the computer was working properly. 5. Then if it gives you a choice of times on that day click on one. 6. Click on next 7. Your computer will then find the settings you have chosen and restart the computer using the date specified. 8. When your computer restarts, it will tell you that you have restored a previous date. Click on OK. Note: Any files, data and e-mails that you have created between your past restore point and the current date will not be lost. Sorry for the length of this post. Any suggestions

The best way to do this is as follows: 1. Put the headings on the first page and the instruction paragraphs on the next pages 2. One at a time, highlight the first word of each block of instructions and click "Insert>Bookmark" on the file menu 3. Name each paragraph something that will tell you at a glance which heading it belongs to 4. When you have asigned a bookmark to each block of instructions, go back to the first page, highlight each subject heading (one by one) and click "Insert>Hyperlink" 5. When the "Insert Hyperlink" box opens, select "Place in this document" from the shortcut menu on the left 6. Expand the "Bookmarks" directory and link each subject line with it's corresponding instruction paragraph. when you are done, you will be able to click on a subject on the first page and jump right to the details somewhere else in the document good luck cleo
