Print a page or part of an email message

Print a page or part of an email message

The ability to print sections or pages of e-mail messages depends on the version of Outlook that you are using. In any version, you can print sections or pages by opening the message in a browser window, such as Internet Explorer. You can open the browser from within the open message.

Notes: 

  • When you print from the browser window, the hard copies won't include title and the header fields such as the From, Sent, and Subject fields.

  • If a message is in plain text format, you cannot print using these procedures. For more information, see More about message formats.

Important: Because of the numerous printers available to consumers, we cannot help you troubleshoot any issues with your printer.  For troubleshooting information, see the manufacturer's manual or website.  

Outlook supports three message formats:

  • HTML     This is the default message format in Outlook. It is also the best format to use when you want to create messages that are similar to traditional documents, with various fonts, colors, and bullet lists. By default, when you select either of the options that allow formatting (HTML or Rich Text), the message is sent in HTML format. So when you use HTML, you know that what you send is what the recipient will see.

  • Plain text     This is a format that all e-mail applications support. You can set Outlook to open messages that you receive in plain text format only. Plain text doesn't support bold, italic, colored fonts, or other text formatting. It also doesn't support pictures that are displayed directly in the message body, although you can include the pictures as attachments.

  • Outlook Rich Text format (RTF)     This is a Microsoft format that only the following email applications support:

    • Microsoft Exchange Client versions 4.0 and 5.0

    • Microsoft Office Outlook 2007

    • Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

    • Microsoft Outlook 97, 98, 2000, and 2002

      You can use RTF when sending messages within an organization that uses Microsoft Exchange; however, we recommend that you use the HTML format. RTF supports text formatting, including bullets, alignment, and linked objects. Outlook automatically converts RTF formatted messages to HTML by default when you send them to an Internet recipient, so that the message formatting is maintained and attachments are received. Outlook also automatically formats meeting and task requests and messages with voting buttons so that these items can be sent intact across the Internet to other Outlook users, regardless of the default format of the message. If the Internet-bound message is a task or meeting request, Outlook automatically converts it to Internet Calendar format, a common format for Internet calendar items, so that other e-mail applications can support it.

      Note: When you reply to a message, Outlook preserves the format of the original message. However, if you select the Read all standard mail in plain text option, Outlook formats your reply in plain text. Or you can click the InfoBar, change the format of the message to HTML or Rich Text, and then reply. If you change the format of the message, the reply is formatted with the new display format.
