re: Printing one page of Outlook email message Monday, November 29, 2004 at 9:03 pm Posted by Malcolm Fowler (1626 messages posted) I use Outlook 2000 and it gives me the option to print any range of pages under the Print command in the File menu. I must admit I have never used it as I never receive e-mails over 2 pages - 7 pages is a hell of a long e-mail!!!

I'm using Outlook 2003 and it doesn't give me that option. Did they actually take a step backwards, or is there some option I haven't seen? Actually, I was making up the example with 7 pages. I was really dealing with a three page email, and only wanted to print page 1. Can someone else weigh in on this? I'm confused that Malcolm has a different print dialog than I do, and I'd like to have "his." Thanks in advance.

I thought all the Office suite of programs had this - mine certainly does (Outlook, Word, Excel etc..) It's hard to imagine that it would be removed in Office 2003 - out of interest check Word. It is also possible that your printer driver does not support this function so could be worth checking the printer manufacturer's web site On Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 9:08 am, Mike Kaiser wrote: >Thanks, Malcolm.

I do not like that because the lay-out is ruined and you do not have the sender and cc and/or bcc names. 2) Another (and in my option the better) option is to 'Edit the message' (first open the message, then 'Edit' and 'Edit message'. Then delete all you do not want to print, then print. Answer 'No' when you are asked to save the changes after pressing 'Esc'.

I've been using workaround #1, but I agree with you that #2 is better. But what a horrible design, eh?

I can see no way to limiting printing to one page. Did you find a solution? John On Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 9:08 am, Mike Kaiser wrote: >Thanks, Malcolm.

I use 'forward' then delete all but page 1. Is MS aware of this flaw?

I have no idea--nor do I know how to find out. Let's hope so. If anyone knows how to bring this to their attention, please have at it. It's stuff like this that caused annoyances.org to come about in the first place. Mike On Wednesday, December 22, 2004 at 8:34 am, John wrote: >Thanks for feedback.

The you can print the page(s) you want. Also after print, if you wish to keep message original, do not save the change! Tere you go! Good luck to all! Hope MS will fix this silly small thing, that could save a few trees in the forests I think!
