Lee: Before leaping into your mouth with both feet like this, it's not a
bad idea to spend a minute or two reading the Help. :-)

If you view an Outline in Outline View, Word constructs an indented layout
so that you can see what you are doing.

When you print, from any view, Word renders the text the way you formatted
it. If you get no indents, that's because you didn't ask for any...

Cheers

If you make the mistake of using Outline view to create a list, or if
you somehow end up with an outline you want to print, you will find
that the result of printing an outline is a useless, unformatted list
of headings, line after line with no indentations.

There is no way to fix this in word because someone wasn't thinking
when they designed this.

To convert an outline to a formatted, printable form, do the following:

1. Export outline to PowerPoint
2. Export outline back to Word.

Proof that idiots rule the world.
