So, cntrl+shift+A will collapse all or show all toggle. To Demote or promote use shift+alt+arrows, etc. I'm sure these are all available in both 03 and 07 Word and I'm sure that you can customize the shortcuts if you don't like them.Philosopher Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760405193554965808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401469893752544206.post-24924741632268028512007-10-03T17:50:00.000+02:002007-10-03T17:50:00.000+02:00Hello, I haven't gotten to the point where been go...Hello, I haven't gotten to the point where been good at knocking out Next Actions by context. (Your outline was my first step at being consistent in documenting projects, successful outcomes, someday/maybes, and next actions :).) I don't use Outlook appointments or tasks for next actions. I've found that when I stick appointments in my calendar as a reminder that I need to do something, it reminds me when I'm in the middle of something else and am not in the mind-frame to work on it. It is more of an annoyance as I end up with lots of appointments I keep having to postpone for an hour but then never get to. Also, the outline & next actions are very dynamic so I'd rather not manage individual tasks 1 by 1 but simply edit the Word outline to remove completed next actions and add in the new ones. Therefore, I think I'd prefer just to have a simple list that is sorted alphabetically, i.e.:<BR/>@Home. Sort through clothes to donate or turn into rags. (project Donate to Goodwill)<BR/>@Web. Find link to ER & download questions. (project Log an ER.)<BR/>@Web. Stick all unsorted in a separate folder and sort. (project Clean up Favorites)<BR/>@Work. Whittle down by conversation with recent emails. (project Clean up inbox)<BR/><BR/>This way, it groups like contexts together and the project name is still included at the end of the next action in parentheses so that I know what the next action is about.<BR/><BR/>Since the next actions list is so dynamic, pressing 1 button to create it makes an easily created 'throw away' list that will probably just be used over a few-hours period before it gets updated, needs to be 'thrown away' and a new one generated. Thank you very much for considering my request.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401469893752544206.post-68671844275800184432007-09-26T16:34:00.000+02:002007-09-26T16:34:00.000+02:00This can be done.

But before I start coding I have some questions:<BR/>Do you create Outlook appointments or tasks for your Next Actions?<BR/>If so, do you use Outlook categories such as @Web, @Work etc. in order to be able to group these appointments by context?<BR/>Would it be interesting for you to extract these context parameters from your Outline?<BR/>In that case, how would you prefer to note down you next actions:<BR/>a) like this: <BR/>@Web.

Thank you for offering it. (I also modified the headings in Normal view so that it's easy to print with the same formating as outline view.) I was wondering if you have a macro to not only collect all Next Actions but also one that sorts them in alphabetical order? e.g. Currently with "ListNextActions" you get:<BR/>Log an ER.<BR/> @Web. Find link to ER & download questions. (project Log an ER.)<BR/>Clean up inbox<BR/> @Work. Whittle down by conversation with recent emails. (project Clean up inbox)<BR/>Clean up Favorites<BR/> @Web. Stick all unsorted in a separate folder and sort. (project Clean up Favorites)<BR/>Donate to Goodwill<BR/> @Home. Sort through books to donate that don’t match these criteria: books you love, books you read regularly, books whose content can’t be found on the Internet. (project Donate to Goodwill)<BR/> @Home. Sort through clothes to donate or turn into rags. (project Donate to Goodwill)<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't it be great if there was also a macro that gave you this:<BR/><BR/>@Home. Sort through books to donate that don’t match these criteria: books you love, books you read regularly, books whose content can’t be found on the Internet. (project Donate to Goodwill)<BR/>@Home. Sort through clothes to donate or turn into rags. (project Donate to Goodwill)<BR/>@Web. Find link to ER & download questions. (project Log an ER.)<BR/>@Web.
