3 4

At various stages throughout the process of viewing, editing, arranging, reorganizing, and formatting the headings in your outline, you might want to print a copy to see how things are shaping up. Printing is the same basic process, whether you're printing a long document or a simple outline. Here are the steps:

1. Switch to Outline view and display your outline.
2. Display only those headings you want to print by using Collapse and Expand and selecting the outline levels you want to see.
3. Click the Print button on the Standard toolbar. The outline will be printed as displayed on the screen.

Troubleshooting

Too Many Page Breaks in Printed Outlines

You've finished working on the outline for the new product report, and the development team is waiting to see what you've come up with. You've gone back over it several times to make sure you've got all the sections organized properly and the outline levels set correctly. Everything looks good.

But when you print the outline, there are big blank spots in the center of the pages. In the file, the text looks fine—what's the problem? Chances are the blank spots are due to Word's treatment of manual page breaks. If you've inserted manual page breaks in your document, you'll need to remove them before printing the outline; otherwise, the blank spots will prevail.

To remove the manual page breaks, click Show All to display all the formatting marks in your outline; then move to the page break symbols and press Delete to delete them. Save your document and print again. The unwanted breaks should be gone.
