How can I print just a selection of an email in Outlook 2003? The printer
driver window is different from the one that comes up in Outlook Express.

Thank you!
 
You can do this for HTML formatted messages. Highlight your text, File->
Print... and select to print only the selection

Only if it's HTML? Not if it's plain text or Rich Text? I tried to change the
email's format to HTML but it's grayed out. Maybe I need to change to
preferences?

Anyway, Thank you very much!

Yes, because it uses the Internet Explorer printing preferences.

To convert a message to a different format first make it editable by Edit->
Edit Message...
Note that you cannot direcly convert from Rich Text to HTML; convert it to
Plain Text first.

Well, that seems even more confusing, to tell the truth, since I print a
selection in both IE and OE, all the time, with no problems...However, I did
what you said--made the message editable and then changed it, and that
worked. A "work-around" really. I'm still weighing the differences between
Outlook and OE.

Thank you very much for your help!
