Printing Partial Outlook E-Mail Messages

[Jimtalbert]

Is there any way to print selected pages of an e-mail message in Outlook XP? I get a nice print preview by page but see no way to print only the pages I want.

I set my printer to do a Print Preview option by default in Printer Properties. The document is sent to the printer when I chhose to print it, but before the printer actually prints, I get a preview. From ther, I can right-click and page and select Remove Page, thereby only printing the pages of the email I want.

I tested this on Outlook XP on a Win2k system, using a networked Epson Stylus 760 printer.

It should work for you.

Thanks a lot, Randy. I'll check that out and see if it works for me.

Another method that works quite well is to highlight only the portions of the e-mail (or Web page) you want to print. Go to File/Print and click Selection in the Print Range area. Only the highlighted portions will be printed.

For highlighting, Dreamboat gave us these shortcuts a month ago:

Shift+Down arrow (line by line)
Shift+Page down (page by page)
Shift+End (to end of line)
Shift+Home (to beginning of line)

They work extremely well, particularly for Web pages that run off the right edge if you try to print any other way.

Thanks, E. B. I'll try that too!
