    Thanks for your post djclements.  After reading it thru & some more thinking, I realised my original post was misleading.

    My real problem is best explained in my one sentence buried inside my initial post -

    I am trying to change the Collapse/Expand column showing the "-" or "+" symbol from the right (default) side to the left.

    I then followed that with lots more words about Auto Outline not allowing me to do that, something it is not designed to do.  Even my subject is misleading :facepalm:

     

    Solution:

    After some more digging, I have now discovered how to do what I wanted - forget Auto Outline, instead click on the bottom right portion of the "Group" section of the ribbon to get into Settings and there are the options I wanted.  See screenshot below -

     

    The only thing here is .. don't have a cell within a table selected because then access to Settings will also be greyed out (don't understand why, but that's what I see, & I can avoid it by selecting a suitable cell).

     

    Thanks djclements for getting me to the right place to do what I wanted!
