Entourage Print Font Size

[Greg]

Hi there,

I have seen this issue in this group for the past few years, but all
of the resolutions have failed to solve the problem on my machine.

Issue: When printing an email in Entourage, the print font size is
around 20 pt; i'd like to make it smaller. Changing the Preferences /
Fonts / Printed Items does no good; it changes nothing. I have
rebooted after each attempt.

Situation: I have a new MacBook (about 4 weeks old) using OS 10.5.5
and Mac Office 2008. Printing issues occurs with every printer i have
used. (e.g. Dell Color Laser, HP Color Laser, HP Office Jet). It
occurs over the network (home) and using USB (office). MS Word, etc
all work fine regarding font size so it does not appear to be a driver
issue for the printers.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you in advance.

Greg

User Workarounds

Option 1: The workaround I have applied in my organization is to go to
File/Page Setup and change the scale from 100% to 75%. You will only need to
do this once.

Option 2: Copy the e-mail into a "text editor" to select font and size.

Select All. Copy the text in the email and paste it into a text editor like
the default application, TextEdit or Microsoft Word. If you need more
details, under Message in the Menu bar select "Source." copy source and
print.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the tip on Option 1. I thought my HP print driver was hosed
but just reducing the size helped.
