SUMMARY
This article explains the correct procedure for creating and using
Collapsible Outlines in FrontPage 98 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
There are several ways to create Collapsible Outlines in FrontPage 98. This
functionality requires Internet Explorer version 4.0 in order to work
correctly.
By default, when you browse a page that contains Collapsible Outlines, all
levels appear expanded. You can then collapse each level accordingly.
Creating Collapsible Outlines Without a Pre-Existing Outline
In Themes View of FrontPage Explorer, apply a theme to the Web you are
currently working in. This will use graphic images from the theme as your
outline level icons.
Create the First Outline Level:
- In the FrontPage Editor, type a single line of text.
- Highlight the line of text you typed in step 1.
- On the Format menu, click Bullets And Numbering.
- In the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, click the Image Bullets tab,
and then click "Use images from current theme."
- Click the Enable Collapsible Outlines check box.
Create Subsequent Levels:
- In the FrontPage Editor, position the insertion point at the end of the
first level outline text.
- Press Enter.
- On the Formatting toolbar, click the Increase Indent button twice.
This creates a second level with a new graphic image to the left of
the line.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each subsequent outline level you want to
create.
To Create Collapsible Outlines from an Existing Outline
Use either of the following methods to create Collapsible Outlines.
Method 1:
- In the FrontPage Editor, highlight the first line of the existing
outline structure.
NOTE: The other levels will inherit these properties.
- On the Format menu, click Bullets And Numbering.
- In the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, click the Image Bullets tab,
and then click "Use images from current theme."
- Click the Enable Collapsible Outlines check box.
Method 2:
- In the FrontPage Editor, double-click to the left of the first level in
the existing outline structure.
The entire outline becomes highlighted, and the highlighted section
extends the entire width of the page.
- On the Format menu, click Bullets And Numbering.
- In the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, click the Image Bullets tab,
and then click "Use images from current theme."
- Click the Enable Collapsible Outlines check box.
NOTE: When using Themes, you will only see three different levels of icons
on your outline. After that, the icon used for the third level is repeated
for each subsequent level.
