Summary: If you install the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) macro supplied with Word for Windows versions 1.0 and 1.1, you cannot print a document’s outline. The File Print command prints the entire document, not the outline. This is particularly noticeable if you attempt to print a collapsed outline. Instead of printing the headings chosen in the outline view, the printed output is the complete document as if printed from Page view. Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version 1.0 and 1.1. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows version 1.1a.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Install the EPS macro from the EXAMPLES.DOC file shipped with Word for Windows versions 1.0 and 1.1.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose New and select Document, using any template.
 * 3) From the View menu, choose Outline.
 * 4) Type a short line of text and press ENTER.
 * 5) Create five more similar short lines.
 * 6) Move the cursor to the first line and click the left arrow of the outlining tools on the ruler to promote it to a heading level 1.
 * 7) Move to the second line and demote it to a second level heading. (Use the mouse to click and drag the icon one increment to the right or use the right arrow on the ruler.)
 * 8) Click 1 to show only heading level 1 text. (Only the first heading now shows).
 * 9) From the File menu, choose Print and choose the OK button. All of the headings are printed instead of the heading 1 chosen in the outline mode.

More Information: After you install the EPS macro, it modifies the File Print command. This modification allows you to print EPS files to a PostScript printer. To work around this problem choose one of the following: 1. Delete the FilePrint macro by choosing Edit from the Macro menu, selecting FilePrint in Macro Name, and choosing Delete. This restores FilePrint to its original status. -or- 2. Rename FilePrint to EPSprint and assign EPSprint to the File menu. This restores FilePrint to its original status and adds EPSprint to the File menu to print EPS files.
