Removing drop down arrow in Word

Question

I'm writing a document that contains links as part of a Table of Contents. However, there is an arrow that, when clicked on, causes the drop down for each individual section. I want to drop down to work, but is there a way to remove the arrow that causes the drop down?

Thanks in advance,

Lee

I removed the references to bookmarks from the title and the question because this does not seem to have anything to do with bookmarks. If I am mistaken, please write and I will change it back.]

Answer 1

If you are referring to the little triangles in the left margin, the answer is: No.

If you absolutely need to, you can convert it to a version of Word prior to Word 2013 and you will not have the expand/collapse and not have the triangles. These triangles do not print or translate to pdf. I can give you a macro that does this.

In Word 2010 compatibility mode (or earlier), all the text is there without collapsing.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for asking the question in our community forum.

Per the situation you mentioned, the file may help us better understand and try to fix the issue. Could you prepare and upload an example file you mentioned with no confidential/ sensitive data to OneDrive, then share the link here? I'd like to have a test from my side. And it would be great if you can provide some screenshots that we can better understand the detailed information.

Appreciate your understanding.

Best regards,
