Open a word outline collapsed to level 1 main headings instead of defa

[baneVader]

I have a word doc in outline mode. When I open it, it is expanded. I want it to open it collapsed all the way down to the 1st level

I need the cookbook version including the macro, where to place it, what to call it, what else to delete, what to declare etc

this is because I'm a newbie, but I have a little experience, just not too much

Thanks

p.s. I think I have word 2007

You think you have Word 2007?!?

For what you're after, you could add the following macro to the document's 'This document' module:

Sub Document_Open()
With ActiveWindow
  .ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView
  .View.ShowHeading 1
End With
End Sub

Should work with any modern version.
