Collapse or expand topics to help focus on specific topics. The map prints as displayed - collapsed topics are not expanded before printing.
You can collapse and expand individual topics interactively using the icons that appear on each topic with subtopics - or in Map View, or in Outline View. This can be convenient while working on a map or to open or close individual topics on smaller maps during a meeting.
Press CTRL as you
click the expand or collapse icons to cycle through the topic levels one
level at a time.
Press SHIFT as you click the expand or collapse icons to show all levels
or collapse all levels.
The Detail function commands can work on a larger scale to set the display depth for multiple topic(s), or for the entire map. This is especially useful for focusing on a portion of a large map.
You can use the following commands:
Collapse topic - hides the subtopics but does not collapse them.
Collapse branch - collapses all the subtopics and then hides them.
Collapse map - Collapses all the subtopics and shows only main topics; centers the map
Next Level - expands the topic by one level
1 Level, 2 Level, All Levels - shows 1, 2, or all levels
Using the collapse commands with the Central Topic selected always shows the main topics.
You can collapse a topic to hide all of its subtopics, or expand it to show the next level.
Select a topic or topic(s).
Do one of the following:
On the Status Bar, click the Detail arrow , and then click the command you want to use.
On the View tab, in the Detail group, click the Detail arrow, and then click the command you want to use.
