How do we print only the selected portion of an email? Often emails include
unending quotes of prior emails that simply waste time and ink to print.
Furthermore, the prior messages have often already been printing for filing.
So how do we print the message, including the dates and headers, with just
the reply (either incoming or outgoing), without all the redundant quotes?
Isn't there a way to print the message header and only a selected portion of
the message?

Is there some pressing need WHY you need to "print messages for filing"?
Outlook (or some other electronic storage system) is a FAR FAR better
"filing" method than ANY paper-based one!

Depends on your Outlook version, which you have failed to mention.

either print to an electronic format like pdf, then use it to print to paper
or try outlookprinter.com or blueprint. http://www.savvisoft.com/

Hello Gordon,

Is there some pressing need WHY you need to "print messages for filing"?

"filing" method than ANY paper-based one!

True, until you have a catastrophic computer malfunction. Furthermore, we
often need to print copies for meetings, copies for clients, or project
files where all types of written communication are consolidated in a single
paper file for easy retrieval and review. Unlike you, perhaps, we are still
not free of a good paper system.

While we do not need to print every message, we do need to print certain
messages and do not want the redundancy of the quoted replies which wastes a
lot of paper.

We are using Outlook 2007.

Thanks

Thank you, Diane, this program may have some promise! However, wish we
could do this in the native program.

everyone wishes they could do it in the native program. Printing in
outlook was always bad... I don't think anyone thought it could get worse...
but it did.
