MS Office Forum / Outlook / Printing / June 2005How do I print a single page of an email.
Dear All, This question must have been asked often in this forum. Nevertheless, at the cost of repeating this exercise for the amateur such as myself, I would like to pose the following question once more: In Microsoft Outlook 2002, how do I print any given page of an email which has arrived in my inbox. Thanks in advance for all your help and support. Best Regards. > In Microsoft Outlook 2002, how do I print any given page of an email > which has arrived in my inbox. Open the message, click Edit>Edit Message, convert it to HTML (Format>HTML) and then you'll be able to do that.  SignatureBrian Tillman Brian, thanks for the advice. I'd be interested to hear from you, though, whether you honestly think that this "solution" to the problem is an adequate one. In my view, what we have here is a very simple problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place. After 9 years since the debut of Outlook, Microsoft still hasn't thought about letting users select which pages of a plain text e-mail to print?! Since several users have asked this question, I wonder whether MVPs would consider bringing this issue up with someone from Microsoft, to the extent that they could help in this regard. (In the win98.gen_discussion newsgroup, MVPs sometimes to try to contact their "sources" and help out.)

SignatureBrian Tillman We've brought it up... they know printing support sucks in Outlook, they know it's even worse in Ol2003. Will it get fixed in Outlook 12? Or will it get even worse? (as if that's possible :)) We'll have to wait and see. I don't expect to see it fixed older versions though. Personally, I wouldn't convert a message to html. I would either print to MODI and print the page I need from MODI or hit Forward and print. Which method I choose depends on what information I need included in the printout.

What does "print to MODI" mean? Anyway, glad to hear that the MVPs are aware of it and that it has been brought up. I presume it wouldn't cost Microsoft too much energy and financial resources to at least enable one simple feature - selecting pages to print. I would also guess that the implementation of this feature would pretty much be the same for OL 2000/2002/2003. I'm sure they COULD do it. Is there nobody at MS working on Outlook who realizes this is an issue? I'm just very puzzled by this - I can't understand how a situation like this is even possible after so many years...

They rank issues by time required to fix it, number of people affected, and potential to introduce bugs - and some of the bugs, while seemingly simple to us, have complicated code or work with other features and that runs the cost up. The feature is identical across all versions (as are many features), but something they did in Outlook 2003 broke some parts of it. I have no idea where it falls within the list of things to fix though. :( Modi is the Microsoft Office Document Imager printer - it prints tiff and mdi image files.
