The outline or any portion of the outline can be printed to a file or printer. Included in the output is the outline structure as well as the layout defined in the Details View of the Outline Editor. To print an outline, you must open either a module or section in the Outline Editor. A set of default data columns is automatically included in the output; however, you can configure which columns you want to appear in the report by switching to the Details View and customizing the columns. The Details View does not have to be displayed to print a report; however, only the Name column is included in the report when printed from the Player View. 

Note: The report does not honor column sizes that appear in the Details View. You can change the page orientation or adjust the margins to modify the column sizes, or save the report to Microsoft Excel and adjust the columns there.

To print an outline, first expand the documents to show the detail that you want included in the report. For example, if you want the report to show child documents for modules/sections, make sure you expand these nodes first. Also note that deleted or missing documents are included.

The report opens in a new window. Use the following toolbar icons to print the report, configure printer settings, export the report to file or graphic format, and so on.
