Why do you need PrintPage1?

Does Outlook waste your paper?

How many times have you printed an email in Microsoft Outlook only to find that it ran to more than one page simply because all the previous messages in the correspondence were included?

Do you want to be able to print just the current message - without all the previous messages added to it?

The common sense way to do this would be to print just the first page but Outlook makes this very difficult to do.

We have made it easy. 

PrintPage1 will allow you to print any email without all the previous exchanges of messages. 

PrintPage1 does not just print the first page.  It is smarter than that.  It discards any messages that are appended at the bottom of the current message and that begin with From: . That means that even if the new message extends to two pages you get it all.  If it is less than a page you save ink.

PrintPage1 adds a toolbar  

When you click the Print button ( or use the CTRL+1 keyboard shortcut) you will see the PrintPage1 dialogue box.  The dialogue box works out whether there is any text to discard and tells you so.

In the dialogue box on the left discardable text was found.  The default is to print the message without the discardable text but the user could choose to print the whole thing.

You can even add your own discard points which means you can set PrintPage1 up to discard standard disclaimers or notices as well as previous messages before printing.

If you click the QuickPrint button (or use the CTRL+Q keyboard shortcut) PrintPage1 will print one copy to the default printer discarding any previous messages.

You can also configure Outlook's built-in print commands to use PrintPage1 - the Print item on the File menu, the Print button on the Standard toolbar and the CTRL+P keyboard shortcut.

You can also configure PrintPage1 to print emails as they arrive in your Inbox.

When you have got used to PrintPage1 you can hide the toolbar and just use the keyboard shortcuts.
