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.
- On the View menu, click Outline.
- 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, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.).
- 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
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.
- Click Print
on the Standard toolbar.
