SUMMARY
This document describes how to print a selection of an item using Microsoft Word 97 as your e-mail editor.



MORE INFORMATION
There are times when you will want to print just a section of a mail message, or perhaps a notes area of an appointment item. Outlook does not provide the facility to do this directly, unless you set Microsoft Word as your default e-mail editor.

Set Word as Your Default E-mail Editor
In versions 8.0, and 8.01, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) On the E-mail tab, click to select "Use Word as the e-mail editor."

In versions 8.02, 8.03, follow these steps:  On the Tools menu, click to select "Use Word as the e-mail editor."

NOTE: If your computer has less than 32MB of RAM you will receive a warning:

This allows you to take advantage of the features of Word when you read and write e-mail. 32M of memory is recommended for best performance. Do you want to turn this on?

 Click Yes. You may notice a degradation in performance if you do not have the recommended memory.

Print a Selection
