Outlook 2007: How do i print only the first page of an e-mail?

[Guest]

It appears that Outlook 2007 eliminated the ability to print only the first
page of an e-mail. Is that right?

This is resulting in significant waste and is not environmentally responsible.

Well I would say it's fairly wasteful to print emails at ALL in the first
place......tried copy and paste into a word document?

Yes, cut and paste is an option, but hardly efficient. So the conclusion is,
Microsoft removed the ability to print only a selected page in Outlook 2007.
Not a smart move.

While I regularly dissuade users from unnecessarily printing e-mail, there
are legitimate reasons in a business setting why some must be printed.

as a retired management Accountant, I can't think of ANY legitemate reason
to print an email, unless for the purposes of hard copy to an outside
government agency....

Have you considered using a third party addin?

Savvisoft has released 'Blueprint for Outlook' which overcomes the issues around printing page selection, and will allow you to print selected pages whilst still retaining all the usual message header information.

It also provides you with full control over the layout of your custom forms, even allowing you to add custom headers and footers to printouts.

If you like the sound of it, you can visit http://www.savvisoft.com for more information and a free 30-day download.

Nothing is different. You never could print one page of an email if it was in
plain text. It's all or nothing. You can print selected pages of a HTML
email, so if you edit the message, change the format to HTML, you will be
able to select a page--same as every version of Outlook.

Gordon:

Obviously you have never worked in the Construction Industry. Even with all
the sophisticated software an dapplications to file everything
electronically, there are still several companies that insist on paper files
and nearly all clients, including the Federal Government require printed,
hard copies of everything, including emails as they are considered legal
correspondence.

The other item is when there are extras in the contract and certain
documents or even emails require an Engineers raised stamp, so again, they
have to be printed out.

Printing emails is also necessary for small contractors that don't use
computers to correspond and emails have to be faxed. We are still very far
away from relying soley on electronic copies of documents on hard drives.
