I'm using Entourage 11.2.1 and OS 10.4.2
I'm trying to work out how to set my account so that it prints out only
the first page of any email message automatically (in some ways it's a
similar request to the guy who posted
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...4?q=applescript+print&rnum=6#6248ea9d63454974).
While I'm away, I'd like the first page of a message to print, which is
where the message usually is - pages 2 onwards tend to be the trails of
a message as it goes back and forth. That way people here would know
I've received an email, but I'm not wasting paper unnecessarily.
There's not any way to do it through setting an Entourage rule that
I've found - I've tried setting up a preset in the print dialogue box,
but it doesn't seem to save the page numbers as part of the settings,
so the 'print' command in rules just prints out every page.
I've found http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2082.html
which talks about enhanced print apple event, and that seems to work
with the finder, but not with Entourage - it seems to get confused by
the 'page starting' and 'page ending' property names and the 'print
dialogue' boolean.
I've searched and searched the Apple and Microsoft sites for
information, but I can't find anything. It strikes me as a painfully
simple thing to do, so I'm sure I'm missing something. Does anyone have
any ideas?
