Printing Journal Items

The options available when you print from the Journal folder depend on whether a timeline view or a table (list) view is currently open. In a table view, you can open and print individual items, print the entire list, or print only selected rows. Printing the table is useful if you want a snapshot of the journal for a specific period of time. You can print list views using either Table Style or Memo Style print styles (explained shortly).

Note

You don’t have to open an item to print it. Simply right-click the item, and then choose Print from the shortcut menu.

In a timeline view, you can print individual journal items or several items at a time (hold down the Ctrl key and click to select multiple items). You can print one or more items, each on an individual page, in Memo Style, and you can print attached files along with the journal entry details. To print the attached files, select the Print Attached Files check box in the Print dialog box.

Note

For more information about printing views in Outlook 2007 and creating custom print styles, see Chapter 28.

Table Style, shown in Figure 23-17, is available from any table view. It prints the selected view just as you see it in Outlook 2007: each item on a separate row, with the fields displayed as columns. Table Style has limited configuration options.

Table Style prints journal entries in a table.

Memo Style, shown in Figure 23-18, prints one item per page, with your name as the title and the details of the record following. Memo Style is a simple and quick one-item-at-a-time print style. You can specify the title and field fonts, paper options, and the contents and fonts used by the header and footer.

Memo Style prints a single journal item per page.

Printing from the Journal folder is not a particularly difficult task for anyone who has used and printed from any Windows-based application. However, you might be wondering how you can print just a selection of a table view. For example, you might need to print only the items that fall within a specific range or those associated with a particular contact.

Follow these steps to print a selection of a table view:

  1. Open the table view.

  2. Click columns as needed to sort the data to help you locate the items you want to print. For example, click the Start column header to locate items that fall within a certain time range, or click the Contact column header to locate items associated with a specific contact.

  3. Select the first item in the range, hold down the Shift key, and then select the last item in the range.

  4. Choose File, Print to open the Print dialog box.

  5. Select Table Style in the Print Style area, and then select the Only Selected Rows option.

  6. Set other print options as needed, and then click OK.
