Yes, I see and have read all of the comments, but can somebody please post a tutorial or a video walkthrough of how to employ this macro. I've been trying for an hour and have zero clue what I'm doing. I see from a 2017 comment that there's some coding involved, but where?! Where am i supposed to put that?

Hi,

can someone elucidate more about his macro.
Its execution is not clear.

I am trying to maximize my productivity with macros; nevertheless, not all are elucidated properly.

Some have links to videos, which is the best; otherwise, it is a matter of trial and error.

Which part of OneNote is referred to as "Outline", so that it can be collapsed or expanded?

I am aware of the "collapse parent"

Dan: You need to also set $OutLine.sizeSetByUser = true for the width to stick. Otherwise OneNote will revert the width to a size that it calculates.

Hi Omer,

I am trying to Set the Outline width of the containers on all pages in a section to 800.

I can only do the first page.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Macro name="Outlines" category="TEST"  version="15">
  <Comment text="For each Page in CurrentSection" />
  <ForEach var="Page">
    <Array>QueryObjects("Page", GetCurrentSection())</Array>
    <ForEach var="OutLine">
      <Array>QueryObjects("Outline", $Page)</Array>
      <Expression>$OutLine.selection = "all"</Expression>
      <Expression>$OutLine.width = 800</Expression>
    </ForEach>
  </ForEach>
</Macro>

I have tried everything :(

How can I set the width of the outlines on all pages - my code only works for 1 page

Thank you

onemit: This macro collapses selected outlines within the current pages, not the pages in a section.

Hello - perhaps I am misunderstanding the intent of this macro, but I thought I could collapse/expand all pages in a section. No matter what options I choose, nothing happens.

Also I am confused what numbers 1 through 9 / all refers to.

Thanks

When used, sometimes deletes equations

Works now, Thanks

There was a small problem in this macro that prevented download. That should be fixed now. Please try again

download not possible

Hi
I,too, get the error message the error message \'macro can not be downloaded\' when trying to install. Downloaded file is only 32 bytes. Firewall and antivirus are off. I\'ve never had a problem installing your macros before.
Thanks
Al

Thorsten, likely there is a firewall blocking access to the download. The macro content is downloaded during install and if there is a firewall blocking the network call, it will fail.

Hi,
if I try to install the macro I get the message that the macros can not be downloaded.
