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.

Thanks much! -Mike Parker, www.Cytex.com
