Page Layout ⇒ Outline Package kicks back an error

[Singularity]

Hi.

I want to use the outline package. If I understand right, I don't have to do anything special to get the package, other than use \usepackage{outline}, it should be available to me (edit: should I mention that I am running TeXnicCenter 1.0). But I downloaded the outline example.tex and tried to compile it and get many errors. The first error is:

Code: Select all

l.30   \item
             {\bf Introduction }
Try typing  <return>  to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X <return>  to quit.


! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.30   \item
             {\bf Introduction }
Try typing  <return>  to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X <return>  to quit.

Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 30
[][]
 []

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \OL@i 
                 \item 

Line 1.30 is the first use of package outline, it is the second line after the begin document (and the first in the following example):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{outline}
...
\begin{document}
\begin{outline}
  \item {\bf Introduction }
...

Is the package not loading? If not, how do I get it to load? If it is, then what is wrong with the sample doc?

Thanks

I found this old post, which led me to the MikTex Settings and the Package Manager. I installed package 'outline' and 'outlines'. In the log file, I see that package outline is loading without error.

I attached the entire code (which is identical to the outline-example.tex official example and the output log.

I am out of ideas what to look for and am now, officially, desperate to solve this problem. So a big thanks to anyone who can help.
