Change the right margin setting in MS Word Outline view
Hello, When working in Outline view in MS Word (2010), is it possible to change the right margin setting? I'm not referring to: Page Layout menu > Margins settings, but to the length of text allowed in a given line before a new line insert (wrap text) occurs. There is a lot of empty white real estate present to the right of the text which I would really like to utilize but I cannot locate anywhere to change the default setting. Also, the ruler is apparently disabled in Outline view. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

To my knowledge, your margins are based upon how they are set in the normal (Print Layout) view...not upon the optional document views. With that in mind, the 'white space' you speak of cannot be used.
As you noted, the ruler is disabled in the Outline view. However, the "Draft" view does illustrate the ruler enabled and gives you the same basic view as the Outline view. |

Thanks for the responses.
I found this solution in another forum which, although not exactly what I was after, does eliminate the right margin emptiness: File > Options > Advanced > Show document content > Show text wrapped within the document window Quote:
• Levels indented • Content can easily be collapsed and expanded • All headings at a given level can easily be viewed simultaneously • Large sections can easily be relocated • etc. As far as I know, all of that is lost in switching to Draft view or any other view. In fact, I can't remember ever using Draft view. I'm either in Outline (most of the time) or Print Layout view, thus my comment regarding if I am not using or understanding views correctly. Thanks again. |

Because it does. Open any document and and observe each view offered in the "Document Views" portion of the 'View' ribbon. (You did say that you are using 2010 didn't you?) |
