It has long bugged me that the Outline View in Microsoft Word is so narrow, that is, that the text is so narrow on the page. There was no obvious way to change the margin sizes, since Outline View ignores the Page Setup margin settings and you can’t turn on the ruler.
Today it finally bugged me enough that I went looking for the solution. Voila! It’s right there in Tools | Options, on the View tab at the bottom: Wrap to Window. It’s unchecked by default.
I’ve no idea how many versions of Word this has been in, and I hope for the sake of my self-esteem to never know. It would be nice to be able to set margins, but that’s a minor nit.
Anyway, I hope that this will ease someone else’s frustration with Word, just a little.
Thanks, Microsoft!
