Collapse/expand Feature In Outlook
Unfortunately, this feature isn’t in Word for the web yet. If you have the Word desktop program, you can click Open in Word to open your document in Word and collapse or expand parts of the document there, but those sections will be expanded when you view your document in Word for the web. A new feature was introduced in Word 2013 that allows you to collapse parts of your document and expand them when you want to view that content again. This feature makes it easier to find and view only what you want.

I was asked the other day if there was a way to expand all the Outlook Inbox folders without clicking each one separately. The person had inadvertently moved a folder somewhere else, and they wanted to be able to see all the expanded folders so they could easily spot it. My first pass at research made it appear there was no way to do that without writing macros and such, but then I found this tip that works pretty good (provided you’re running Windows)…
To collapse or expand all the headings in your document, right-click the heading and click Expand/Collapse Expand All Headings or Collapse All Headings. When you close and reopen a document, the headings will be expanded by default. If you want the document to open with the headings collapsed, follow these steps. Collapse or expand all groups by default in Outlook If you want to collapse or expand all groups or conversations by default in Outlook, you can change the default collapse/expand state of groups as follows: In Outlook 2007, please click View Current View Customize Current View. Or an 'Outlook-only' format that doesn't rely on scripting and would only work when sending from and to an Outlook client. The custom Outlook 'markup' would be stripped when sending via any of the other formats. But, it's not a big deal, it was a convenient feature in Notes and we were wondering whether it was available somehow in Outlook.
In the example below, I have a folder (Renewal Tracking) that has a number of nested subfolders in it:
In order to expand that folder without clicking on it, I can left-click the Inbox folder and then press the Windows Key at the same time you press the Asterisk key on the numeric keypad on your keyboard:
(This is the Windows Key)
As you can see, the Renewal Tracking folder has expanded one level. If I had other first level folders, they would have expanded also. If I keep pressing that key combination, everything continues to expand as deep as necessary:
If you want to collapse everything again, just double left-click the Inbox folder.
I have noticed that sometimes a single Windows > Asterisk combination key press will expand everything in one press. I’m not quite sure why that is, but either way this is far better than having to click each item individually.
