Stop Printing Auto Headers and Footers in Email

[lattelassy-scribe]

I'm using Outlook 2003. Created doc in Word 2003 & sent test email to
myself. Looked fine onscreen, but when I printed it, Outlook (or Word)
inserted HEADER & FOOTER which messed up my pages (this is sample chapter of
a novel going to literary agents.)

The HEADER: first part of the document's name as saved in Word 2003
The FOOTER: the date I printed it.
NEITHER OF THESE print when I print from Word.

Any wise ones out there who know how to stop Outlook from printing these
things?

why are you sending a novel in the body of an email? send it as an
attachment - a PDF will give you perfect control over the layout.

The reason for the footer is its HTML formatted message and uses IE to
handle the printing. IE adds a footer by default. You can't remove it.

Thanks for replying, Diane, but this doesn't help me. I'm not sending an
entire novel -- but I have good reasons for not making my submissions as
attachments-- that is not an option in this case. I also am using Firefox,
not IE, as default browser on my computer.

Doesn't matter what your default browser is - outlook uses IE's printer
engine.

What email system do the agents use? Just because it prints one way for you
doesn't mean it prints the same way for the recipient. (They may get it as
plain text because that's all their mail system uses.)
