How do I print landscape from outline mode in MS Word
I want to use the outline mode to collapse and outline and then print certain
sections of the collapsed out line. I can collapse. I can set the setup to landscape. However the lettering behaves if its an 8.5 x 11 so when I print it I receive wrapped text. I cannot collapse the outline in print layout mode. Is there anyway I can get a printout of a partialy collapsed outline that expands across the width of the page inlandscape mode? -- Good Luck and God be with you Keep typing and trucking |

Okay
Let me expalin again: Ouline mode does not give me a landscape paper view. It gives a portrait view. When I print from outline even if the page setup is set for landscape. I get a landscape printout and wordwrap as if it was portrait. I am doing an outline I want to use a landscape printout becasue the outline extends to the right. I want a lanscape printout of an outline without wordwrap. How do I do that? -- Good Luck and God be with you Keep typing and trucking "Stefan Blom" wrote: Did you make sure *not* to Print Preview the document?

Well, I just tested to change orientation to landscape, switch to
outline view and then print. It seems to work OK for me: the printout is in landscape, text is indented from the left to indicate document hierarchy, but text lines end further to the right (as expected). Have you considered upgrading the printer driver? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "billxian" wrote in message ... Okay Let me expalin again: Ouline mode does not give me a landscape paper view.

Thank you for the help. I believe you don't understand what I am trying to do.
Did your image from the outlook mode look like it was in the portrait mode or the landscape mode? I want it to look like a landscape so that the text will extend to the right without wrapping as it does in the portrait. My longer lines wrap too soon in the outline mode. Were you able to collapse a section and then print it so that the section remained collapsed as a landscape so that the wordwrap does not occur? Are you certain that you were printing from outline mode and not the print layout mode? I can print the outline with no collapsed sections as print layout and it prints correctly with no collapsed sections. The problem occurs when you collapse a section. I need to collapse sections of the outline and print it landscape with the sections collapsed. I get the wordwrap from right adjusted extended sections as if they were printing on a portrait even though the output is landscape. Of couse the problem gets worse depending on what level you are on. Let me try to it explain this way: These are the conditions 1. Outlook View (Preferably a landscape view versus a portrait view. I don't see how you set the landsacpe view for an outline) 2. Line of text that wraps in portrait but not in landscape mode if printed 3. A collapsed section not containing the long line Result A printout that 1. Shows the section collapsed 2. The line extending without wordwrap I hope this clarifies the situation Again, thanks for the help but I still have the problem. -- Good Luck and God be with you Keep typing and trucking "Stefan Blom" wrote: Well, I just tested to change orientation to landscape, switch to outline view and then print.

Some notes.
What in the world do you mean by Outlook View? Life is much easier if you use Word's vocabulary... You can't change a view from Landscape to Portrait. You change the *paper* from landscape to portrait (using File | Page Setup). If you change the paper in a document, it is changed for everything--print layout and outline view, and for printing. Unless I have also misunderstood, you are asking for something that you can't have--a document in portrait that will use landscape only when you are printing from outline view. You can manually make this happen--when you go into Outline View to print, change the paper; then change it back when you return to print layout view--but Word won't automatically do it for you. These are the conditions 1. Outlook View (Preferably a landscape view versus a portrait view. I don't see how you set the landsacpe view for an outline) 2. Line of text that wraps in portrait but not in landscape mode if printed 3. A collapsed section not containing the long line Result A printout that 1. Shows the section collapsed 2. The line extending without wordwrap I hope this clarifies the situation Again, thanks for the help but I still have the problem. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/ What's an MVP?

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. -- Good Luck and God be with you Keep typing and trucking "Daiya Mitchell" wrote: Some notes.

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.

a "What version of Word are you using?"
Word 2003 SP1 "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" 1. I am not ceratin that Stefan was doing what I was doing. 2.If I couldn't print at all then I would beleive print driver. The fact that it prints in print layout and the hardcopy turns out to be correct except that I cannot collapse a section tend to lead away from the print driver. Also I am on a network printer at work do updating a print driver is not really an option for me. Plus the fact I have the same bug on home computer also leads me away from the print driver. -- Could it be that Microsoft has a bug in Word that they refuse to fix? (Nah It would never happen ) If so how do we get this fixed? Or do I try to find another tool that merges with Offce?
