Navigation:  Working with large documents > Outlines > Using the outline view

As mentioned in the introduction, Write provides a special display mode for editing a document's outline: the outline view.

To switch to the outline view, choose the ribbon command View | Outline. You can choose the command View | Standard to return from the outline view to the standard view at any time.

In outline view, you see the document organized according to main headings and subheadings. The first-level headings (main headings) are on the far left. Each lower level heading is indented to the right by an amount corresponding to its level.

For more information about the outline view, see the following sections.
