Printing a Master Document

---

When you're ready to print your master document, begin by opening the master document and expanding the document display to the level you want to print. First click Expand Subdocuments on the Outlining toolbar to show the headings of all subdocuments, and then use the Expand buttons to expand the text level as desired. Finally, change to Print Layout view by choosing View, Print Layout, or clicking Print Layout View to the left of the horizontal scroll bar.

Choose File, Print, select any necessary print options, and then click Print. The entire master document, including the subdocument text, is printed.

Tip 

Get a bird's-eye view  Take a look at the document as it will appear in print by choosing File, Print Preview. You can select a multi-page view to see the overall look applied to the combined subdocuments in the master document. Click Close to return to the Print Layout view and make any necessary changes before printing.

Troubleshooting: The master document is incomplete when printed

If you find that some sections are missing when you print your master document, return to Outline view and scroll through the document to make sure all sections have been expanded. Anything left collapsed will not be printed, so make sure that you expand the entire document, if that's your intention, before selecting Print.
