How can I remove these groupings?

Post by Ryan1 »

Sorry for the Subject wording on this but I don't know what these are called.

Sometimes when I copy text into a document it creates these "groupings" with the '-' and '+' symbols that I do not want. (please see screenshot below)

I once figured out how to remove them, but forgot what feature this is or how to do it.

Thank you for your help.

I suppose you mean the "collapsible headings":

You can configure the feature on the "Edit" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog:

Thank you for those references, they helped me understand this feature much better.

It's a great feature so I don't want to disable it. I have a much better understanding of it now so I know how to activate it when needed.

I determined that what I needed was the 'Convert heading(s) to body text' button in the 'Headings' section on the 'Control Board' panel. I wanted to be able to remove certain headings that appear sometimes unexpectedly when I copy text into my documents without losing the text. This did the job!

Thanks again!
