How to Print an outline just to a certain level in MSWord Outline
in Word2002 how can one print a Word document in outline mode to only a
predefined level of the outline? When I print it now, the whole document prints even when I have it displayed on the screen collapsed. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. MN |

You could in theory make sure that all but the desired heading styles have the "hidden" text property. Depending on the style hierarchy, that might be achieved with very few mouse clicks. A more elegant solution is to create a TOC on the desired outline levels only. You can adjust the TOC styles to reflect the heading styles exactly, you can suppress page numbers --- that should do it. I suggest you read up on TOC field code switches in Word's offline help and come back if you need more help.

Are you sure about this? At least in previous versions, you *could*
print a collapsed outline, assuming that you did it directly from Outline view (and not via Print Preview). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ...

How to Print an outline just to a certain level in MSWord Outl
Stefen,
You are correct! It just worked as you predicted. Many thanks for your assistance. I was previewing the result through "print preview" and clearly wasn't getting a true wysiwyg functionality. My only challenge now is to remember your point when I need to use this feature again in the future..... since I don't believe anywhere in the documentation or online MS help does it say that Print Previiew should not be used if you want to print excactly what is on the screen. Thanks again! Marty "Stefan Blom" wrote: Are you sure about this?

You are right: I'm sitting in front of Word 2000, Outline View, show only 3 levels, print --- does as you say. [Sorry all!] Sure enough, Word 2000's help says that [translated from DE Word] "the indents and symbols of Outline View have no effect on the layout of your text in Normal View and will not be printed." Sounds like a bug, though a nicely exploitable one! Greetings Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

This could be interpreted to mean: "the settings of Outline view does not affect other views" -- and then it is certainly correct.
