I have an finished an outline in outline view and I'm wondering how do i get word to print the outline? Everytime I try it converts the outline into a regular document. Thanks for your help.

Assuming that you're in Outline view when you select
File>Print, you should see the level indents in your
printout.
However, note that a printout from Outline view will have
margins as specified in the File>Page Setup dialog box.
Also, since Outline View doesn't show all formatting (such
as paragraph spacing), it is sometimes easier to format
your outline with the desired characteristics, including
indents, and then print from Print layout view.

If you want to print only what you see in Outline View at that moment, click
Print[Immediately] (must use the default printer icon on the standard
toolbar, not File | Print...).

Is that a design change in later versions of Word? In Word 2000,
it's certainly possible to use File>Print from Outline View and
get a printout that resembles what I can see on screen (except
for margins).

Clarification: The case when margins don't look the same in a
printed outline as it does on screen is of course when you have
the option to wrap text to the document window enabled for
Outline and Normal views.

Very likely it varies between versions, although my MacWord 2001 is ‰ to PC
word 2000. After some trial and error, the Print icon solution was what
worked for me, when all I wanted was to print out the headings, not any body
text. I tried and failed to find a setting in File | Print that would work.
Not sure if printer driver would make a difference (some let you check
Preview after the print command, some don't).

Doesn't simply hiding the undesired outline levels (using
keyboard shortcuts or the Outline toolbar) work for you?

Um, not quite clear on what you are asking. When in Outline View,
Print[Immediately] prints what I see on the screen (to whatever headings I
have set), File | Print prints the entire document.
At least that's what I found before, last time I wanted to print headings
only--I hadn't realized it was possible at all until seeing a post from
Klaus Linke, and using the Print[Immediately] icon was the only way I could
get it to work, after getting a bit frustrated. Since this sounded odd to
so many people, I just now re-checked it, and now File | Print from Outline
View prints only what I see. I wonder what I was doing differently before?
(the obvious answer, that I didn't have the doc set to headings only, I'm
quite positive is not the case, but now I am really perturbed)

I asked the question because your reference to the Print dialog
box in a previous post indicated that you were expecting an
option there to print from Outline View.

I suspect this behavior may have changed, as it has always been my
understanding (untested) that you could only print directly (using the
FilePrintDefault button) from Outline view. If you switch to Print Preview,
you don't see the outline, and I would expect what you see in Print Preview
to be what would print if you used the Print dialog. Hmm.

Interestingly, apparently not (I just tested it). I wonder if previously I
was thinking along those lines, and didn't actually try printing it, on
seeing the full text in Preview. In that case, does the order in which one
clicks Print and Preview change anything? Some printers let you preview
from the Print dialog, would that change the behavior?
Probably not worth worrying about....
