It's only certain emails that have to be printed - but they also differ in format depending on which supplier they come from - e.g. some can be printed out as is, while others have attachments that open and have to be printed out.
At the moment this involves someone going into Outlook and hitting the print key untill their fingers are sore!
Is there a straightforward solution to this (with or without Oulook)?
Thanks!
Outlook doesn't offer that functionality directly, but you could use the Rules to flag certain mail to run a Script. You would have to create a script that would print out the different messages depending on their type. This should be fairly straightforward for standard mail. It will be more complicated for attachments.
An alternative might be to have people enter information into an online form. You could specify the data format and then output that data in the format you prefer.
Thanks for that.
I managed to set up an Outlook rule to print out certain emails thanks, and another rule to move those emails into a "printed" folder.
Attachments are the tricky part. I've found a program that will download mail, detect attachments then automatically open up word/acrobat/excel and have them automatically print out the attachment. Word/acrobat/excel then closes itself down.
But it works seperately from Outlook, and I'd prefer a tool which does something similiar but from within Outlook.
The emails and content of the emails are outwith our control - essentially we get certain emails and these have to be printed out for reasons outwith our control.
