Printing a master document (master document: A "container" for a set of separate files (or subdocuments). You can use a master document to set up and manage a multipart document, such as a book with several chapters.) is a fast way to print all the subdocuments without opening them individually.

1. On the View menu, click Outline.
2. If the subdocuments are collapsed, click Expand Subdocuments on the Outlining toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.).
3. Expand or collapse headings to display as much of the document as you want to print.

   How?

   Collapse any of the following:

   All body text to see headings only

   • Position the insertion point in the first heading. On the Outlining toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.), click Collapse .

     Note  To redisplay body text, position the insertion point in the first heading, and then click Expand .

   All body text except the first line in each paragraph

   • On the Outlining toolbar, click Show First Line Only . An ellipsis (...) after the first line indicates that additional lines of text are collapsed.

   Note  To redisplay text, click the button again.

   Text below a specific heading level

   • On the Outlining toolbar, click the lowest heading you want to display in the Show Level box. For example, click Show Level 3 in the Show Level box to display heading levels 1 through 3.

   Note  To redisplay all levels, click Show All Levels in the Show Level box.

   All subheadings and body text under a heading

   • Double-click the outline symbol next to the heading.

   Note  To redisplay all subheadings and body text under a heading, double-click the outline symbol again.

   Text under a heading, one level at a time

   • Position the insertion point in the heading. On the Outlining toolbar, click Collapse .

   Note  To redisplay text, click Expand .

   If you select a heading that includes collapsed subordinate text, the collapsed text is also selected (even though it's not visible). Any changes you make to the heading— such as moving, copying, or deleting it— also affect the collapsed text.

4. Click Print on the Standard toolbar.
