I used to be able to open an email and print just the selected text in
Outlook 2003 however I cannot find how to do this in the 2007 version. Can
anyone help please.

Open the message and click Actions>Open Message in Browser.

Although your work-around does indeed work, it seems to be a big oversight
that it is a small (but useful) feature that has not made the transition to
Outlook 2007.

I often only print was it needed and this extra step seems wasteful and a
process used to overcome the shortcomings of this new release.

Thanks for the tip though, it is better than nothing.

I use the following solution when I want to print part of a message in Outlook 2007 with the original headers intact:

1. Open the message (you cannot do this in the preview pane)
2. On the Message ribbon, click "Other Actions", "Edit Message"
3. Delete the parts that you don't want to print
4. Print
5. Close the message without saving your changes

I know this is somewhat risky because you may accidentally save, but it's the easiest solution I've found to print with the headers intact.
