The "What are Styles?" section is expanded and highlighted

In this outline-only view, the plus signs are still visible and even serve a purpose. Double-clicking on one of the plus signs expands that particular section of the outline to include all of the information below the selected section, as shown above.

So why is this view somewhat useful? First off, you get a high-level overview of your work and can expand any section you want. This saves pointless navigation through the document while you try to locate a specific section. Second, the outline functionality opens up some other interesting possibilities. Before I get to those, I'll explain how to enable outline view and go over the Outlining toolbar.
