Printing in Outlook
| 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 Web site. You can also ask questions in Microsoft Office Communities. |
In any Microsoft Outlook folder, you can print individual items or a view of all items in a folder. For example, in Calendar, you can print the contents of one appointment or you can print the view of everything in the Calendar folder.
Note: At the end of this article, there is a list of links to articles that discuss how to print specific types of items and views, including specific message pages and attachments.
Each type of item and each view has a print style, which determines the layout, font style and size, and other formatting options. To modify how an item or view is printed, modify the print style. You can also create your own print styles for items and views. In the case of views, you can change the look of the view to modify how it prints. Some examples include:
-
In Mail, the default style for e-mail messages is Memo Style, which prints copies that look similar to the message on your screen.
-
In Calendar, you can print a daily, weekly, or monthly view of your calendar and pages that include more details per item.
-
In Contacts, you can print a single contact or pages of contacts displayed as cards or in phone lists.
The contents of an item are printed with the most common fields visible, such as the From, Sent, and Subject fields in an e-mail message. You can also print an item with custom fields that you create.
