Moving Outline Headings

If you find yourself in the position of needing to revise the structure of a document, you can make the job easy by following these steps:

1. Make sure you have used the standard headings defined in the Word styles—Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, etc.
2. Switch to Outline view. (Easiest way is to click the Outline view icon at the right side of the status bar.)
3. Specify the head level at which you want to work with the document. To do this, use the Outline Level drop-down list on the Outlining tab of the ribbon to select the head level you want displayed.
4. Position the insertion point somewhere in the heading you want to move.
5. Click your mouse on the Move Up tool to move the heading (and everything subordinate to that heading) higher in the outline. The Move Up tool looks like an up arrow.
6. Click your mouse on the Move Down tool to move the heading (and everything subordinate to that heading) lower in the outline. The Move Down tool looks like a down arrow.
7. When you have finished, switch back to your regular viewing mode.
