Convert MW Word Outline into Text?
Hi Word People,
I'm hoping people can help me with what I first thought would be an easy problem. In short, I need a quick way to convert an MS Word Outline into a text-based outline. I have a detailed business plan written up in MS Word 2007. The plan involves many procedures; each procedures has detailed steps, substeps, subsubsteps, and so on. I originally documented them using a multilevel outline in MS word. On the page, my outline looks like this: HTML Code:
1. Level 1 a. Level 2 b. Level 2 i. Level 3 ii. Level 3 1. Level 4 2. Level 4 - Really long text string here Really long text string here - Really long text string here iii. Level 3 2. Level 1 a. Level 2 b. Level 2 3. Level 1 My problem is I need to adapt the Word document to our online database, which doesn't understand Word's outline format. When I paste the above into the database, I see this... HTML Code:
1. Level 1 a. Level 2 b. Level 2 i. Level 3 ii. Level 3 1. Level 4 2. Level 4 Really long text string here Really long text string here - Really long text string here iii. Level 3 2. Level 1 a. Level 2 b. Level 2 3. Level 1 Below is kind of what I have in mind, just assume each "." represents a space character: HTML Code:
1...Level 1 ......a...Level 2 ......b...Level 2 ............i...Level 3 ............ii...Level 3 ..................1. Level 4 ..................2. Level 4 Really long text string here Really long text string here - Really long text string here ............iii...Level 3 2...Level 1 ......a...Level 2 ......b...Level 2 3...Level 1 Many thanks! -redapplesonly |

This depends far more on your receiving database program than it does on Word.
If I save a Word document as text or html, I get far more structure than you are showing. |
