How to print e-mail message only?

How do I print out a message from my email that was sent MS-WORD?

  • A friend sent me a letter he got from another source. The letter is written on letter-head stationery, and when I try to print it out, ONLY the letter-head appears. My computer has three ways to print documents, and I tried them all, but all I get is the letter-head. I have Windows-XP and IE-7 running. What do I need to do in order to print this letter? Please Help.

  • Answer:

    Try opening the letter with OpenOffice. Its a free office suite that can open MS Word documents, get it at www.openoffice.org

You need the program it was created on. If that's Word, you need Word (or Open Office).

Sounds like you have word or a compatible program already. Check for macros, Tools, Macros, look for anything you don't recognize. I have seen places use macros to prevent part of a document being printed under certain conditions. Try using the old 'Save As' trick, simply save as a different, non-word format. I like RTF, it will usually do fairly well in preserving the layout and can be opened in Wordpad.

If you are using hotmail.com they can open Word documents online so you don't even have to have MS word installed. In fact you can even author docments online. OfficeLive is awesome, I've been using it for over a year, absolutely love it. And the best thing is it's free. http://www.officelive.com/en-us/

Try the Word Viewer from Microsoft. Download the file to your computer first. Then use the viewer to open it and print it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=3657ce88-7cfa-457a-9aec-f4f827f20cac&displaylang=en
