Outlook 2007 - distribution lists print on two pages

[damen.cole]

Hi,

I have an administrative assistant at our company that prints out
paper copies of all her distribution lists. In previous versions of
Outlook (2000/XP/2003) the distribution list printed out elegantly on
a single page with the distribution list name at the top, followed by
the contact information.

In Outlook 2007, the new print engine for some reason prints the
header out on page 1, and page 2 contains the contact information.

I have tried defining print styles, but it appears as though there is
limited flexibility in doing it this way. The closest we came was to
set the style as printing the pages 2-UP and then at least it was on a
single peice of paper. (this lead to information getting truncated
though)

Is there a hotfix or workaround for this problem? Thank you!

Hi,

I suppose that would work as a bit of a kludge - much like printing
the 2 page output in 2-UP.

Do you know if there was any reasoning behind the decision to switch
to a 2-page format, or was this merely something that was missed in
the redevelopment of the 2007 printing engine?

Thanks,

-Damen

I have no insights into that at all. If you have a retail version of Office/Outlook 2007, I suggest that you file a support incident on this issue. This is the best way to let Microsoft know that there's a problem with the application. Unlimited support for Office/Outlook 2007 is free for the first 90 days after activation. See http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vista_supoffnew for more information on this support policy.
