Our office check request form was created in Excel, and I’ve finally trained everyone to email me their check requests, with the completed form attached. My problem is that although I’ve convinced Outlook to open the files without squawking (.xls format, since not everyone in firm uses Office 2007 yet), Outlook refuses to print all the attachments if there are more than one attached. Sometimes it stops after printing the first attachment, and other times I get most of them, but not all, necessitating me to open each attacment and check which ones printed and which didn’t.
I don’t have this probelm with other attachments, such as Word docs (both .doc & .docx formats) or Adobe .pdf files. After having missed issuing checks several times, I now right-click on each attachment and print them all indvidually, but I’d love to be able to save those extra steps and have all attachments print reliably when I print the email message.
Any suggestions?
My only theory now is that calling for help from the Lounge caused Outlook to decide to quit tormenting me — at least while someone else is looking. I’ll let you know if it reverts to it’s old tricks.
