Right margin in Outline View

[Stefan4321]

How do I extend the right margin in Outline View? In Normal view, the right
margin can be set wide just fine, but in outline view the text still wraps at
a short line. There must be a separate setting for the right margin in
Outline View, but I have yet to find it.

Thanks.

Stefan

Can I please bump this old thread? I'm using Word 2003. I have the same
problem Stefan described: in outline view, the text wraps WAY inside the
righthand margin that's set in normal view--it's as if somehow in outline
view the righthand margin is set at an inch and a half inside the right "edge
of the paper" instead of 3/4th of an inch.

But if I set "wrap to window" as Suzanne Barnhill described, now the text
wraps way OUTside the normal-view righthand margin. It doesn't wrap until it
hits the right edge of the window (yeah, duh) but I'm running at 1280x1024
fullscreen so the window is lots and lots wider than the Word editing area.

What can I do to make the text wrap at the same right-margin setting in
normal view and in outline view?

Thanks very much!
