How to print an email with small/big font size in Outlook?

Author Kelly Last modified

Let’s say you need to print an email in Outlook, however the font in the email is too small or too big. How could you change the font to proper size? There are two parts you need to adjust:


Print an email’s message header and username with small/big font size

The first part will guide you to change the font size of both message header and username when printing the email in Outlook.

1. Select the email whose message header and username you will print with small/big font size, and click "File" > "Print".

2. Now please specify a printer, select "Memo Style" in the "Settings" section, and click the "Print Options" button. See screenshot:

(2) In the "Fonts" section, click the "Font" button beside the "Fields" box, then in the Font dialog box specify a proper font size and click OK;
(3) Click OK in the Page Setup: Memo Style dialog box.

5. Now you return to the Print dialog box, you can click the "Print" button to print the email directly; or click the "Preview" button to preview the email first, and then click the "Print" button.

Note: The specified font size for both username and message header will be saved and applied to other emails automatically when printing in future.

Easily print an email's message body only without header and username in Outlook

As you know, when printing an email in Outlook, it will print out both the email header and email body as what you view in the Message window or Reading Pane. What's more, it usually adds your username above the message header. Here, I want to introduce the excellent "Advanced Print" feature of Kutools for Outlook, which enables you to print an email's message body only without the message header and username, and retain the background image in Outlook.
