Outlines do not print as expected when you use the Quick Print feature in Word 2007

Symptoms

When you use the Quick Print feature to print an outline in Microsoft Office Word 2007, the outline does not print as expected. The outline levels that you set on the Outline Tools tab are printed. However, the hidden outline levels are also printed. These hidden outline levels are printed over the visible outline levels that you set. Therefore, the text is unreadable. Additionally, when you click Print Preview to view the outline, the complete document is displayed instead of the Outline View of the document.
