How do I print selected pages only of an email, as I can in a Word
document?

Open the message in your web browser and print from there. Exactly how is
message format and Outlook version-specific and you decided mentioning
either was unimportant.
 
I don't think there is an option in Outlook to print a selected area or page(s). Outlook Help reads: "In Mail, the default style for e-mail messages is Memo Style, which prints copies that look similar to the message on your screen." As you know, this prints the entire email.

Alternatively, you can copy & paste the desired text or page selections from email to Word but you probably will have to edit.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
 
The best way I can think of is to highlight and delete everything in the
message you don't want to print, then print the message. Then when you close
the message, and it asks if you want to "Save the Changes" say NO and
everything you deleted will come back.
I am sure there is a better way, but have to check with Microsoft to find it.

Like other, I find this very frustrating, printing a 10 page e-mail when you
only want the first page of a text style e-mail. The best solution I have
found to date is to print just odd or even pages at least this potentially
halfs the amount of printing. Switch your e-mail to HTML format and encourage
everybody to do the same then perhaps the problem will go away.
 
I found this solution by doing a search on this forum:

In Microsoft Outlook 2007 -

Open the e-mail
Select Other Actions>View in Browser

The print option lets you select page ranges rather than printing in the
default (and wasteful!) Memo Style.

Yes, you are right. But then you missed all header information, like who send
it to me, when, what is the subject, ...
I really hope Microsoft's designers can be as smart as their 2003 fellows!
 
I agreed with all comments, the designers should change the printing option
or use the word editor as Outlook 2003.
 
The way to print only the amount of pages that you want is as follows

Click file
Click print
Go down to page range
Add a dot to Pages
Add the amount of pages you want printed
or just 1 if you only want the first page

You may need to do this first

Start-Settings-printers and faxes
Right click printer icon
Click printer preferences
Click basics tab
Change page order to front to back
