Printing footnotes and page numbers in Outline
What version of Word?
You are printing directly from Outline View, so that you say Print, and you get only the text that is visible right then, not the entire document? I'm thinking you can't do anything about this. The footnotes are in a different layer of the Word document. There is a text layer, which is manipulated by Outline View. There is a footnote layer, but it has no provisions for manipulating the notes as in Outline View. The programmers would have had to deliberately code the footnote layer so that when you selected View | Footnotes, it checked to see if you were in Outline View, checked to see what you had expanded, and only showed those notes. I'm only guessing about this explanation, but I suspect it never crossed their minds to do so. You could make a feature request, but I doubt it would get anywhere. Similarly, when you print from Outline View, there is special coding to only send the text visible right then. I'm not surprised it isn't smart enough to bring along the footnotes. When you say "page numbering isn't correct" when sections are collapsed--what do you mean? It doesn't go 1, 2, 3?

We typically collapse the sections that don't apply and expand others regularly. Several sections have footnotes, when I collapse that section I'd like the footnote to disappear, but remain visible when it is expanded. This doesn't happen. Instead, no footnotes appear when printed. Also, the page numbering isn't correct when sections are collapsed.
