Printing problem

[DonnieHoss]

Hi there

I am having a problem with the format of my printouts from my emails - When I print out an email it gives me the whole email index together with the actual email which makes it too small for me to read - any ideas

Thanks

Hi @DonnieHoss 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

It sounds like your email printouts are including unnecessary elements, such as the email index, which is shrinking the actual content. 

Here are some steps to fix this:

Print Only the Email Content:

Open the email you want to print.

Look for a "Print" option within the email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook).

In the print preview, ensure only the email content is selected, not the entire page or index.

Use the Browser's Print Function:

If you're accessing emails through a web browser, open the email and press Ctrl + P (Windows) or Cmd + P (Mac).

In the print settings, select "Print Selection" or "Custom Range" to include only the email content.

View Email in Browser:

Some email clients, like Outlook, allow you to view the email in a browser. Look for an option like "View in Browser" or "Open in Browser."

Once in the browser, print the email using the browser's print function, ensuring only the email content is selected.

Adjust Scaling and Margins:

In the print settings, adjust the scaling to "Fit to Page" or reduce the margins to maximize the content size.

Use a PDF Viewer:

Save the email as a PDF and open it in a PDF viewer like Adobe Acrobat.

Use the "Print" option in the PDF viewer to customize the print layout.

If you're using a specific email client, let me know, and I can provide specific instructions!

Take care, and have an amazing day!

You are Welcome! Thanks for letting us help you out!

Yes, you can send a letter you’re typing in Microsoft Word directly via email! 

Here’s how you can do it:

 

Using Word's Built-in Feature:

Open Your Document:

• Ensure your letter is open and finalized in Word.

Use the “Share” or “Email” Option:

• Go to File > Share (depending on your version of Word).
• Look for an option like Email or Send as Attachment.

Choose File Format:

• Word will usually give you the option to send the document as a Word file (.docx) or as a PDF.

Set Up Default Email:

• For this feature to work seamlessly, ensure that Outlook or a default email client is properly set up on your computer.

Alternatively, Manually Email:

1. Save the document on your computer in your desired format (e.g., .docx or PDF).
2. Open your email platform (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo).
3. Compose a new email and attach the saved document by clicking Attach Files or the paperclip icon.
4. Enter the recipient’s email address, add a subject, and hit Send!
