How to widen Outline View in the latest Microsoft/MS Word (2003)? (Or any
version? - the problem is in all of them)

Regardless of page size nor zoom, in Outline view/mode the text is always
limited to an about 6" column (what would print as 6"), wasting all the space
on the right side of the window/display (all blank) and causing the
squeezed-together text to typically become very long, indeed often longer
than typical Normal and Print Views (both which at least fill the text to the
width of the page margins). This is the biggest (and a serious) drawback
I've found with Outline mode -- indeed, ironic, since the mode is supposed to
make text easier to read & digest, but, by making it longer, actually makes
it notably harder.

Outline mode should, by default, wrap text to width of the window.

I've searched Google for "MS OR Microsoft Outline View OR Mode wide" and
found no answers.

This is very annoying!, sometimes making the Outline view rather useless.
I will pay $10 via www.Paypal.com to any good answer!
--except to zoom in to enlarge the text to fit the full window/display, then
shrink the fonts' sizes down to fit in appropriate text, as this would then
seemingly mess up printing.
