I'm reading this thread with some surprise, as I've had no trouble with
printing outline heads without body text. On the other hand, I haven't been
able to print the heads without page breaks between each...(sigh)...

According to Microsoft it should be possible, at least
that's what they say
at their website:
But, I couldn't do it either. I don't know, perhaps I 'm not
able to
understand simple instructions.
In the case you don't succeed either, there is a possible
work around. You
could generate a custom Table of contents
that only shows the headings you want to include (with or
without the
pagenumbers).
If you only print the pages the TOC , you have sort of an
outline.
