[dba-Tech] Outlook default print style question

Sounds like it's time to run 'Detect and Repair' on the Help menu.

When I carry out the same steps as you (in Outlook 2003): File | Page Setup | Define Print Styles, the chosen print style is the one selected when the Print dialog is opened.

Okay, here's what happens. I change the setting using the Define Print Styles list from File | Page Setup | Define Print Styles. Specially, I change it from Memo to Table. Then, I click Close.

When I open the Print dialog box, it still says Memo.

When I reopen the lists using File | Page Setup | Define Print Styles -- it has retained the Table setting. It just doesn't seem to make it to the Print dialog box.

Now, my copy of Outlook 2003 is compromised, so maybe it just isn't working right, but if I change the setting as above, should Table then be the default setting in the Print dialog box as well?
