WD98: Unexpected Results When Printing in Master Document View (182154)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q182154

SYMPTOMS

When you print a master document from master document view, Microsoft Word does not print as expected, for example:
  • Word does not print objects set as Float over text that have been inserted into subdocuments.

    -or-
  • Word may not print the entire document.

CAUSE

Master document view is not designed to print your entire document. It is designed for you to control the amount of detail you want to print.

WORKAROUND

Switch to either normal or page layout view, and then print the document.

MORE INFORMATION

Master document view helps you organize and maintain a long document, such as a book or a multi-part report, that is divided into several smaller documents called "subdocuments." In master document view, you can work in a single document window and still see the overall organization of the subdocuments. This view is not designed to print your entire document. Master document view is designed for you to control the amount of detail you want to print. For example, when you want to print just an outline, collapse the information to show only what you want to print, and then when you print from master document view, it will only print what is shown on the screen.

NOTE: Word does not print objects that have the Float over text option applied while in this view.
