Select text in outline view

A heading, its subheading, and body text

Click next to the heading. Or, move the pointer to the left of the heading until it changes to a right-pointing arrow, and then double-click.

A heading only (without its subheadings and subordinate text)

Move the pointer to the left of the heading until it changes to a right-pointing arrow, and then click.

A paragraph of body text

Click next to the paragraph. Or, move the pointer to the left of the paragraph until it changes to a right-pointing arrow, and then click.

Multiple headings or paragraphs of body text

Move the pointer to the left of the text until it changes to a right-pointing arrow, and then drag up or down.

• In outline view, clicking once to the left of a paragraph selects the entire paragraph instead of a single line.
• If you select a heading that includes collapsed subordinate text, the collapsed text is also selected (even though it's not visible). Any changes you make to the heading— such as moving, copying, or deleting it— also affect the collapsed text.
