Expanding the Table of Contents View

You may "zoom in" (or "drill down") into the Table of Contents to narrow the focus of your view.

Note the distinction between zooming in and expanding. Clicking an entry link itself zooms in on the particular entry and displays its subentries while concealing unrelated entries. Clicking an entry's corresponding + button also reveals its subentries, but unrelated entries continue to be displayed.

In the example below, follow as we zoom in to the Federal Library:

1. Click the Table of Contents link on the Top Toolbar.  
   Checkpoint's Table of Contents appears.
   
   ( Note that this is the highest level of the Table of Contents.)
     
   
2. Click the Federal Library link (the heading itself, not the + sign).
   The Table of Contents changes to display only the entries below Federal Library.  
   
   
3. Continue to click the hypertext links for:
   1. + Federal Source Materials 

        + Code, Regulations, Committee Reports and
                      Tax Treaties        

      + Internal Revenue Code 

      + Current Code 

       

   Notice in the running header that each time you click a hypertext link, you are moving deeper into the Table of Contents, narrowing the material in view.
   
   
4. Continue to click these sublevels until you reach a lone document. Click a document's icon or title to view that document's text on the View Document screen.
   
   Note: If you zoom too deeply into the Table of Contents, you may eliminate relevant material from your view. To zoom out or move back to higher levels, click an earlier link in the running header. For example, clicking CHECKPOINT Contents brings you back to the top level of the Table of Contents.
