For now can't you just copy and paste it to word pad which comes free in windows and print that way? Mary

Thank you both. I just got back to this tonight and in trying to explain how simple it used to be to highlight, right click and print, it occurred to me that I used IE then. So I signed into IE (first time in years) and BAM! Done.

Not as good as a letter done in word, but this didn't need beauty. And I'd already spent way more time than this deserved. Just needed quick. Thanks again.

Ok so you were trying to print from a browser. Thought you meant the outlook program in office. Mary

Breenthumb,

What Version of FireFox are you using, I just noticed the FF in your title? Are we talking about using Outlook.com for your Email?

This is just a FYI (for your information): I normally, if making a post, would not only put something like FF in the Title, I'd put it in the Body of the Post and Spell it out for Dumb A$$es like me (Firefox and not FF). I've overlooked the FF in your title I don't know how many times before it actually hit me that your were using Firefox!

Above I was referring to Outlook (the Program, installed on my Laptop and I use for my Email. I currently have Outlook 2007 installed on my laptop).

If you are using Outlook.com you can use:

1. In Microsoft Edge Highlight your Text then got to the 3 Dots in the Upper Right corner of the Browser and choose Print from the list.
2. In Internet Explorer Highlight Text the go to File in the Toolbar then click on Print.
3. In Google Chrome Highlight Text then in the Upper Right Corner click on the 3 Vertical Bars then choose Print!

Sorry, I don't have any other Browsers on this Laptop. I figured three browsers were enough!

Hey, Bugs. I'm using Firefox. Yes, I'm talking about Outlook.com, email evolved from the old msn.com (dial-up ISP) to livemail and now called Outlook. I've been avoiding Internet Explorer but, in this case, it worked for me.

With the enormous diversity of the English language, wouldn't you think they could come up with different words for different programs and functions, instead of repeating and grunting like cavemen?

Ugh, ugh! LOL

Sorry, I just sometimes overlook abbreviations and didn't catch the FF. Don't know why I caught it this time? Just downloaded Firefox and set it up, Version 44.0. Again, I was able to Highlight the Text, then went up to the 3 Vertical Bars in the Upper Right Corner and chose Print!

Really? Great to know. Thanks much.

Edit: Just tried it out. No "print" in my bar choices. PLUS I clicked on something in the bars and now all of the identity icons in front of replies have gone generic. Too late. Tomorrow is another day.

No "print" in my bar choices.

If the print icon is missing from your hamburger, you can still have it your way. Just click "Customize" and drag the print icon back to the hamburger menu. Something like this maybe...

.

BTW, I can select text and print but it doesn't print just the text I've selected, it prints the whole page. I'd bet there's an extension to print just selected text but I haven't looked.

I'm running Firefox 44.0 in Linux. Maybe I'd have that added functionality in Windows? I'm too lazy to try. :-)

Thanks, Chugger. That was interesting. I did move the printer right off the top menu bar (?) into the burger--then back again. Not sure it would function any differently depending on where it's located, though. Now I'm off to find what I was looking for in the first place. A print option that prints just the part I need to print (not the entire page, as you said) in FF, if possible.

Seems I lucked out getting my page printed last week because I tried it again tonight in IE and couldn't get it without a potato chip ad on the right hand side.

How about trying this: In the Upper Left Corner of Outlook.com there is a Square with 9 Smaller Squares in it, click on it. Chose Word Online and Type your document for there! There is a Print Icon in the Tool Bar over towards the left or you could chose File on the Tool Bar to the Right and chose Print form the list! Hopefully you have this option on your computer and it's not just something I have!

I have Either Office 2007 Professional or Business on this Laptop and my wife's has the other. On my Tablet I have Office 2013 Home and Student and then on my Phone I have ? but it has Word, Excel, OneNote, OneDrive and maybe something else. Maybe one of those Office packages has installed this Icon and given me access to these programs online, I'm not sure. If you have it, give it a try, it may be much easier for you! BTW, I know I don't have Office 365 on any of my devices!

Thanks, will try--tomorrow. By the way I have a 1 yr. free copy of Office 365 that I've never installed. Got it with a new laptop last summer. But, given the way most people use computers, I'd expect this to be so much simpler. We used to do it all the time with the old XP. Arggg.

Does this work?

1. Select the email to print
2. Click the 3 dots
3. Select "Print"

Like this:

.

BTW, here's a Firefox extension that allows you to print only the text you have selected. No formatting, images, etc., only the text. Quite basic but at times, it may be all a person needs.

Richard, breenthumb is trying to type a document (it would be a Draft). That option disappears once in Drafts! Guess they could always send the Draft to themselves for printing using that method!

I do see in the Upper Left Hand Corner of Outlook.com (In your Photo) that you have the large Square with 9 smaller Squares inside. When I clicked on it, that is where I found Word Online. If breenthumb has the same Square, it might be possible that they can use Word Online to type a document for printing.

Ah, thanks Bugs. Somehow that failed to sink into my thick skull. :-)

That's alright, I think I have one of those too!

Thanks, Richard and Bugspop. I'm working my way through all that helpful info. I did DL that add-on. And found I could hide email folders making the left side look empty and printed what I needed for now. Having some problems with my eye recently which makes any kind of reading or computer work kind of unpleasant so doing things in small doses. Thanks for the help. Sandy
