Printing a task form

[Darrell Brauner]

I am in HR and I have created a great custom task to allow us to keep track
of employee status changes. The problem is that we need to be able to print
the form once it has been completed in order to file it in the personnel
records. When you print the task form- the output of the fields in the task
are not all there and seem to be in alphabetical order. I need to be able to
arrange the fields more appropriately or better yet, be able to print the
task as it shows up on the screen. Has anyone accomplished this task? It is
not the easiest to work with but if I can get it to print in a logical
fashion then I will be in good shape.

The memo style print function in Outlook is very minimal and only does built-in
fields. Word is the Office Print Engine, and, to get your custom fields and to
place your fields in a "logical" position on the paper, you need to create a
Word Template that you can use to print your task data as desired. Do a search
on www.slipstick.com and www.outlook-code.com for examples of how to do this.
