MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2008How do we print a portion of an email?
How do we print only the selected portion of an email? Often emails include unending quotes of prior emails that simply waste time and ink to print. Furthermore, the prior messages have often already been printing for filing. So how do we print the message, including the dates and headers, with just the reply (either incoming or outgoing), without all the redundant quotes? Isn't there a way to print the message header and only a selected portion of the message? > How do we print only the selected portion of an email?

Is there some pressing need WHY you need to "print messages for filing"? Outlook (or some other electronic storage system) is a FAR FAR better "filing" method than ANY paper-based one! > So how do we print the message, including the dates and headers, with just > the reply (either incoming or outgoing), without all the redundant quotes? > Isn't there a way to print the message header and only a selected portion > of the message? Depends on your Outlook version, which you have failed to mention. Hello Gordon, > Is there some pressing need WHY you need to "print messages for filing"? > Outlook (or some other electronic storage system) is a FAR FAR better > "filing" method than ANY paper-based one! True, until you have a catastrophic computer malfunction. Furthermore, we often need to print copies for meetings, copies for clients, or project files where all types of written communication are consolidated in a single paper file for easy retrieval and review. Unlike you, perhaps, we are still not free of a good paper system. While we do not need to print every message, we do need to print certain messages and do not want the redundancy of the quoted replies which wastes a lot of paper. We are using Outlook 2007. Thanks either print to an electronic format like pdf, then use it to print to paper or try outlookprinter.com or blueprint. http://www.savvisoft.com/  SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM > How do we print only the selected portion of an email?
