Printing
Background Images
When you send an e-mail,
do you sometimes include stationery or other background images along with
it? You know, just to give it a little extra jazz. Or maybe you receive
e-mails like that. Either way, isn't it sometimes tempting to print those
e-mails out and save them for a later use? But when you do that, the images
don't print! What do you do then? Well, allow me to give you one easy
and quick option.
If you use Outlook
Express, you're getting the print settings that are in place for Internet
Explorer as well. And by default, IE is not set up to print background
images. This is done because most images take up a lot of extra ink, but
if you want to do it, no one should be able to stop you. Lucky for all
of us, there is a way to change this setting so you can print the background
images as you wish! Here's how.
In Internet Explorer,
go to Tools, Internet Options and click
on the Advanced tab. Find the Printing section
and then checkmark the choice that says "Print background
images and colors." Click OK when you're
done. Now, go back and print the e-mail you want just like you normally
would (File, Print or Ctrl +
P). When the job is done, you'll have the e-mail fully intact
and you can save it for another time. Or, if it's pretty enough, hang
it on the refrigerator. That way, you can look at it every day. Yay!
