Editing a Framework

Once a framework is inserted in a document, formatting is controlled by the framework settings. Settings that effect the entire framework can be changed or settings that effect only one framework component can be changed (a framework component consists of a heading and related body text, if any). To make a formatting change throughout the document (for example, to change the font), you must change the font setting for each level of the framework, for the title as well as the text. Or if you want the change to be effective in only one framework component, you can change the font (or other formatting) for that framework component only. Text that you have typed within a single framework component can be edited or formatted as you would normally edit text in any document.

To change global framework settings in an open document that contains a framework:

2	The Current Document Framework dialog will appear on your screen. Click Edit.

The Document Framework/Outline Structure dialog will appear on your screen. Use this dialog to change settings (see Customizing a framework for a detailed description of the controls in this dialog). Check the Save to Library box if you want the framework you have customized with the changes you have just made to be available for use in future documents.

To change framework settings for one framework component in an open document that contains a framework:

3	The Component Structure dialog will appear on your screen. Use this dialog to change settings (see Customizing a framework for a detailed description of the controls in this dialog).

To hide the component text from one framework component in an open document that contains a framework:

2	Click Edit, Framework/Outline, Component Text (or press Ctrl+Alt+F11).

The component text is hidden but can be reinserted by repeating step 2. Even if you have not typed in any framework text, this process can be used to eliminate spacing that the framework may provide for framework text.

1	Right-click with the mouse in the framework element that you want to hide.

The framework element can be shown by repeating the same process and selecting Show Heading or Show Body Text
