Print email messages

A printed email message contains the body of the message, together with a title and the header fields, such as the From, Sent, and Subject fields. There are some font and formatting options available for the title (generally your name or computer name at the top of the page) and header fields. You can print all pages of a particular message, or specify individual pages or sets to be printed.

All printing settings and functions are found in the Backstage view. Click the File tab to open the Backstage view.
