Q: Printing page range in Outlook 2003 (options)

[Mark]

Hi all,

I read some earlier posts in this group stating to print specific pages of
an email in outlook 2003, you edit the message and select HTML as the format.

I was wondering if there's a global option such that no matter how the email
is sent (plain text, RTF, HTML, word), that Outlook always uses MS-Word as
the editor. I thought the mail format (tools>options) had promise, but it
doesn't look like it works.

Our users want an option to print specific pages to save paper, but I think
the edit/format option will get more groans than an "update once" option. The
tech savvy users won't have a problem, but the ones less so will probably end
up just printing everything because it's not a one step process.

Thanks!

Okay, now I'm confusing myself. Apparently that option only works for emails
already coming in as HTML. If it's RTF or plain text, there is no option to
edit the message. At least there isn't for me.

Mark,

You can fix this issue if you use a third party addin:

Savvisoft have released Blueprint for Outlook Basic edition, a addin for Outlook which has been designed to simply enable you to reduce paper usage. As part of this, Blueprint enables you to select part of a message, and print it whilst still retaining all the usual header information.

It can also seamlessly integrate into Outlook, to provide page range printing functionality without your users even knowing it is there.

Hi Hayden,

Thanks, but unfortunately I don't think our department will be looking for a
third party app due to cost issues as well as company specific technology
security issues. However, I will offer it as a solution to consider.

Thanks again,
