Tip 152: Printing Email

If you ever tried to print just page 2 of a 4 page message, you discovered Outlook's printing capabilities leave much to be desired.

The only way to print part of a message is to print it to a document or image file printer and if you have Fax listed under printers, you have the file printer. Along with Fax, other image printers are Microsoft Office Document Image Writer, which is included with Outlook 2002/2003, and PDF or SnagIt printers will work as well.

Select a file printer driver to print to and after the file is created, print the selected pages from the application. If you are printing to Windows Fax driver, make up a fax number (ie, 2345556666) and work your way through the wizard. When you get to the last page, choose the preview fax option and print from the image viewer application associated with the TIF file format.
