Printing individual email pages in Outlook 2003

Guest

How does one print only selected pages of emails in Outlook 2003? I have a five-page email. How do I print Page 1 only? Or do I select Page 2 only? I don't want to print the entire email and waste all that paper.

you can't.... at least not from outlook. You can save it as a doc and print
from word or print to document imaging and then print only a specific page
from the image.

Or have an Epson C62 or similar like me and use the print preview and cancel
certain pages.

Okay. Thanks, Diane. I thought that was probably going to be the answer. I was hoping I was missing something some configuration thingy, but I can live with this. Thanks again.

This is ridiculous, who has time to cut and past each e-mail to print one
page, outlook is supposed to be better, I find it difficult to view,
difficult to work with, everything takes so much longer and its too
complicated - for me anyway. But printing 1 page should be sorted out.

I totally agree with you, why would they remove such an obvious control? It
just doesn't make any logical sense whatsoever.

Is this still true(gasp)? Sometimes I get a dialogue box which allows page
selection and sometimes not but I haven't been able to discern the pattern.

you get the dialog based on the message format - html should allow you to
print by page #. plain text needs printed to a file then the file printed to
control the pages that print.

wow!! I surely thought I was missing something too.... But incredibly it's
true - they took away functionality that was actually *useful*.... and people
wonder why MS frustrates so many users....

WHY would they do this? What possibly explanation could they have?

Please someone tell me when they fix this!!

Terrible!! What a waste of paper and detriment to the environment. Can you
imagine how many users of Outlook there are wasting paper simply because
Microsoft chooses not to fix a problem that they broke in the first place!!
It also is a financial burden to the small business who needs to conserve
every single sheet of paper. Very dissapointing and frustrating. Why don't
they do something about this.

Total madness not to be able to print a single page of an email, come on MS,
does anyone know of a registery hack!

Found it... an acceptable solution...

Double click the email in question to open in its own window, Select Edit
Message from the Edit menu, then HTML from the Format menu.

The message will convert to HTML format and you can then print out specific
pages as required.

At least, MS fix this please. stop wasting paper.

Many thanks for the tip, it works. Also saves a lot of paper being wasted.

I switched to Outlook only a couple of months ago because this is what most
businesses use here and I was wanting to reenter the work force and needed to
know how to use Outlook. I have never been able to find and answer to this
question. It's absolutely ridiculous that you can't quickly and easily print
a selection of an email in Outlook. Editing the message to HTML format is
time consuming when all you should be able to do is highlight the selected
text and print the selection required. Come on Microsoft get your act
together, Put back the feature that use to be there.

Thanks, I must admit this method is easier than transfering it to file format
which is what I used to be doing in the past.

But still, knowing that so many people out there are having the same problem
with just printing just makes me so frustrated. Not everyone at work is
IT-minded and just like 90% of people at my work are complaining about this
printing problem with outlook.

We need fast and simple operation and please Bloody fix this
problem,,,,Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your reply.

I guess the main reason is for hard-copy record keeping. I've actually been
trying to convince people at work to fully switch to paperless transactions,
but I guess there are still a lot, actually way too many people out there who
don't believe in keeping digitalised records. People still tend to trust the
hard-copy records just like what they've been doing for their whole life.

Sometimes I find this quite frustrating as well, but it would take time and
effor to change that i guess. By the way, I'm a freigner working in a
Japanese comapny in Japan.

Thankyou for helping me find the solution. It was so easy once you know how.
When you double click the message required you don't even have to go to edit
message. Just click file, print, and then you get your normal print dialogue
box where you can select which pages to print etc.
Thank you thank you thank you.

P.S. poeple print there emails for lots of reasons, some of them are tax
related.

taking the time to find a solution and then posting it for us to find.

Microsoft doesnt fix stuff they dont think will benefit them. Saving us time
and paper is not in their business model.
