Printing in Outlook 2003

[Barry Watzman]

I don't often print E-Mails, but I'm stunned (in the negative sense)
that the print function in outlook 2003 seem to no longer allow printing
of anything other than an ENTIRE E-Mail message. How do I print just
the first page? SURELY, they can't have been so dumb as to only allow
printing of the entire message? But I don't see the various options to
print only the current page, or only specfici pages (although there are
options to print only odd or only even pages).

What am I missing?

1) File>Print...
2) Under "Page Range" select "All", "Selection", "Current Page", or a Page
number/Range of pages

Sorry. Disregard my previous post. I was looking at the options in Outlook
Express. Then I looked in Outlook, and lo and behold, you are right: There
are no options to print a specified page or range. That's a bummer...

What am "I" missing.
Cant you just go to Print, Then type in what pages in Page Range under
Pages. I just tried it and seems to work for me. What am I missing. I
agree that Selection is grayed out, but the third section seems to work for
what you are wanting.

Robert, you are talking about Outlook Express. Mr. Watzman is referring to
Microsoft Outlook, one of the programs in the Microsoft Office suite.

You have to open the message first before you can access the page range as
described by Mr. McDaniel.

I have the message open.

Other posters confirm it. In OUTLOOK 2003, there is NO WAY to print
just a portion of an E-Mail message. Your ONLY choice is to print the
ENTIRE message. You cannot print just the 1st page, or the "current"
page, or ANY other selection other than the ENTIRE message.

[PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS OUTLOOK IN OFFICE 2003 AND IT IS ***NOT*** OUTLOOK
EXPRESS]

WHAT WAS MICROSOFT THINKING ?????

THAT THEY COULD DO THIS SEEMS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

Hey, Microsoft, this needs to be fixed with an update available via
"Office Update".

 

[Robert]

Yes I have Outlook 2003, came with Office 2003 Professional also have
Business Contact Manager but is sucks so I am not using it, so unless the
print to selected pages field is available due to Business Contact Manager,
if not I have no ideal what you are talking about because I can print pages
2-4 if I want in Outlook 2003.

You're correct, and I though you were before I posted my previous message,
but I decided to check. The only trouble was, I check the wrong app, and
that's why I posted bogus information! Slap me.

Do not understand why I CAN do with OL 2003 what you say cant be done. Open
email message and then hit print and then dialog box pulls up and at bottom
left it lets me enter pages that I want printed. Hate to beat a dead horse
but it works for me and everyone keeps saying it does not work...So what is
the deal.

 

[Barry Watzman]

Ok, as I investigate this further, this is truly bizarre.

You get different "Print" diaglogue boxes depending on the format of the
E-Mail message that you open. The dialogue boxes for Text, HTML and RTF
E-Mail messages ARE NOT THE SAME.

The dialogue box for HTML E-Mail does allow you to print specific pages,
but the dialogue box that comes up when you do File/Print with a text
message is totally different and does NOT allow you to specify pages to
print, your ONLY option is to print the entire message.

Again, this is Outlook 2003 (from Office 2003) and NOT Outlook express.

It goes without saying that you have no control over the format of
incoming E-Mail messages, so this is an issue for everyone.

What was Microsoft thinking?

 

[Robert]

This is true if text only email. If HTML message then you can pick pages
that will print. Weird!!!!
