WHY can't we PRINT ONLY the PAGES 1,2 . . . we want from OUTLOOK?

[Lee]

MS-Office 2003

Would like to print individual pages from Outlook e-mail, but Outlook will
only allow the whloe document to print using extra paper. Also would like to
highlight and print what is highlighted. Outlook does not allow that as well.

We use an HP-7130 All-in-One. Does anyone have a way to fix this for those
of us who need this flexability for printing. What we're attempting to
accomplish without coping and pasting is to print only that which is needed
or pages that are needed.

Please advise . . .

" Copy/Paste into a Word doc. ( " Ah! I've been there and done that a
number of times. Is this our only hope? Obviously, this works, but is
cumbersome and not to forget time consuming. No simplier way, huh? Like
maybe a program fix for the printer mode in Outlook.

This info may not apply to your version since I'm running Outlook 2002, but when
I open the message and select print, I then have the choice of which pages to
print and if I had highlighted any text there's an option to print the Selection
only (and only the selection will print). I do not have these choices when I try
to print while in the folder view mode.

See if you have those options when the message is open.

Hope this helps,

If you change the format of the messsage to HTML, you can then print a
selection or page range. Open the message, click Edit>Edit Message, then
click Format>HTML. Print what you want, close the message, and don't accept
the changes.

Good suggestion Mr. Tillman, but guess what for some reason MS Office
2003/Outlook will not let me do that.

Here is what Outlook Print window has -- number of pages "All"; "Even";
"Odd" Number of copies -- that's it! Some messages only allow me to print the
whole message and won't even allow all, even or odd.

This is turning out to be a challenge, I think.

See if this helps any -- We are using Windows XP Pro w/ST-2 MS Office Pro
2003 and this is in using Outlook. Our printer is an HP-7130 All-in-One.

Sure do appreciate the input being offered and I'm investigating every one
of them, but so far they are working for MS-Outlook 2003.

I'm ready for the next and sure appreciate the assistance.

Oops! Looks like I made a couple of typo's in my reply to Mr. Tillman. #1 So
far they are NOT working in Outlook 2003. #2 St-2 should have been SP-2 for
service pack 2. Sorry about that.

Sure would appreciate more suggestions! So far the only thing that works is
cut and paste to word, then print. Sure wish Microsoft would offer a fix to
give us more flexibility in printing in Outlook 2003.

Define "not let you." DOes a hand come out and cover the mouse? Does a
message pop up and say, "naughty, naughty"?

Here is what Outlook Print window has -- number of pages "All";
"Even"; "Odd" Number of copies -- that's it!

That's the Table Style and it means you did not follow my instructions
properly. The first thing it means is that you did NOT open the message,
you just selected it. Double-click it to open it. Then click Edit>Edit
Message, then Format>HTML, then FIle>Print. It does work.

THANK YOU Brian Tillman! Now I SEE what's going on!

Define "not let you (me)" implies that as you said I did not OPEN the
message. Looks like "I" didn't do my homework, doesn't it?

Now I'm beginning to understand -- Added steps, I see!

Again Mr. Tillman, THANK YOU! It does work, when I learn how to do it right.

Have a GREAT week!
