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 |

Did you make sure *not* to Print Preview the document? Previewing makes

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?
