Outlook Form

[Becka470]

I am working in Outlook 2003. When printing a form that was published as an
Outlook form template it only shows/prints the fields with data, but loses
all formatting, etc.

Why is this?

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customprint.htm for various solutions to the limitation that Outlook forms don't support WYSIWYG printing. The Word template technique is the most flexible and highly recommended.

Thank you. That was helpful. Can the Word form template be published and
used in Outlook?

"publish" in the context of Outlook refers only to custom Outlook forms. Code behind a form can invoke Word objects to create a new document from a Word template .dot file saved on any drive.
