Hi Barbara, thank you I did see your original post; however this was not my
question. I already import outline levels.

My question is: can I import into the customized outline code1; outline
code2, etc

thanks

Hi Marylou,

I had posted a second answer to your other post. I hope that I got your
question this time. There is a setting in Outline Code definition to
allow entering additional values. If that is checked, you can copy/paste
all values to your outline code column. Values will be added to your
look-up table. What I haven't found so far was a possibilty to get also
the description in there. I can't even find a VBA code for that ....

That's what I wrote the last time:

Hi Marylou,

back on my English system again. You can copy/paste from Excel if you
change one setting for your Outline code:
Tools -> Customize -> Fields...
Select your Outline code and click Lookup...
Define Code mask (important!)
Expand 'Data entry options'
Activate 'Allow additional items to be entered .....'
Close windows.
Now you can paste into your outline code column.
After that, you can deactivate 'Allow additional items to be .....' and
move your lookup table to any project you need.

I hope that I got your question this time?
