        You are missing my point, Mike. Sectional outlines are NOT
modal - they work like "inline" outlines in the document.

        Unless you are asking if when printing does the current fold
state get applied - the answer is "depends". Some of the products
give you the choice when printing, some don't. Personally, I think
that it is a print-time choice.

        Would a screen shot help?
