Okay, it mostly makes sense now.
I am seeing the same problem as you are in MacWord 2004--printing from
Outline View doesn't extend the lines all the way to the right. What
version of Word are you using?
However, it worked fine for Stefan, so either the bug has been fixed in his
version, or as he suggested, you should see if there is a more recent
printer driver for your printer available. Word communicates with the
printer driver to produce the printed product. Check the website for the
manufacturer of the printer--drivers are usually under Downloads or Support
or something.
Also, one more question--you wrote:
Printing (to a point I get landscape orientation with portrait based
wordwrap. I don't want this. I want landscape orientation and landscape based
word wrap)
Were you referring to printing from Outline View or from Print Layout view?
(it's not clear what this referred to, as you had separate paragraphs for
Print Layout and Outline View, with this one in the middle) If you meant
from Outline View, yes, that's the same bug I'm seeing. If you are also
having problems getting the lines to go all the way to the right when you
print in Print Layout view, then check your margins and definitely check
your printer driver.
PS. You were saying Outlook view, not Outline view. Since Outlook is a
different product that can interact with Word at times, it suggested you
might be talking about something entirely different.

Thats my point by the way
If I want to go to the tool how to get there I use the mouse and click view
then click outline. Therefo outline view. Sorry,I am not part of microsoft
village. I don't speak the Microsoft language. (Life is much easier if you
use Word's vocabulary...)
When I get to the outline view I expect it would give me a landscape
representation if I set the paper to landscape. I don't know how to make this
happen. I only get a portrait representation with a lot of unnecessary word
wrap. The reason I want to use landscape is not to have wordwrap. For some
reason when I am using the outline tool I get a portrait representation. I
don't want a portrait representation. I want a landscape representation.
Also when I print I expect a landscape representation without all unecessary
word wrap if I set the paper to landscape from the outline tool. On the print
out I get the paper orientation as landscape with wordwrap based on portrait.
I do not want this.
I want to print from the outline tool with with a collapsed paragraph,
landscape orientation with landscape line length, no unecessary word wrap
when I set the paperto landscape orientation. How do I get what I want?
DM,You tell me: "If you change the
paper in a document, it is changed for everything--print layout and outline
view, and for printing."
This is not happening.
print layout (Yes),
Printing (to a point I get landscape orientation with portrait based
wordwrap. I don't want this. I want landscape orientation and landscape based
word wrap)
Outline view (No-The display acts as if it is still portrait 8.5"" (I don't
want this. I want landscape (11" wide)),
I can't collapse a section in print layout. This is okay I am not printing
from print layout. I am printing from the outline tool.
I want to print from the outline tool a collapsed section and get word wrap
based on a longer line length when I set the paper to landscape orientation.
Please I help. I am trying get you to understand me.
As you can guess, I am getting frustrated, sorry.
