How do I turn off print styles in outlook 2003?

[Guest]

Everytime I try to print an email from outlook, it forces me to print user
"print styles" (ie. the Memo Style)

How do I turn this off so I just get the normal Print dialog? I just want to
print a selection of the email and this is only possible with the normal
print dialog.

At the moment I have to copy and paste my selection into word to print! Help!

The only way is to change the format of the message to HTML. Click
Edit>Edit Message. (If the message is in Rich Text, you'll have to change
it to Plain Text first with Format>Plain Text before Edit Message is
available.) Then click Format>HTML and the Print dialogue wil now be what
you want, with the ability to print a selection or a range of pages. When
you close the message, Outlook will ask if you want to save the changes.
You can select No if you want to keep the message as originally sent.

Thank you so much!

1 more question - is there any way to make this default for every mail that
I receive?

You're welcome.

The sender controls the format, not the recipient. The only exception to
that is that Outlook 2002 and 2003 can force all incoming mail to be viewed
as Plain Text (but it's still stored in its original format).
