Yes...I am printing them 2 per sheet. I figured out how to do that. It's
selecting more than 2 at a time using an easy method that I'm stumped on.

Are you saying you just need to print the client Contact data, two per
sheet?

We are using Outlook to manage a rather large client base. (it's not the
best program for our use, but I'm not the boss) Right now the number
stands
at 900, with a possible 500+ more by the time we're done entering.

I have to select clients each day and print them, 2 per page. I have to
be
in Detailed View to get the info I need to print. The "clicking and
selecting" method is clumsy because if I click on the Initial column at
the
far right, it de-selects those already selected. Most days, I need to
print
20-30 pages, (40-60 clients)

I've resorted to just selecting 2 clients at a time, checking the output
in
Preview, then printing, but wonder if there is a way to more easily
select
more than 2, (hopefully 8-10 at a time) to get this print job out
faster.
The selection process is stymied in that, every time you click "off" of
the
list, all those selected are de-selected. Also, the top contact in any
view
is automatically selected, and you must hold Ctrl to de-select it.

That was probably clear as mud...but anyone familiar with Outlook might
understand what I am asking.

I tried changing the view to Phone List, and selected 8 clients, but I
had
to switch to Detailed view to print all the info I needed, and in
switching,
all the contacts were de-selected.

Please don't tell me we need to use Access for this. I know this. The
boss
disagrees. (because he doesn't have to deal with it) I have 1 "real"
boss
who is computer stupid, and her husband is trying to run our show. I'm
in
a
tough spot, and trying to find a good solution for me and everyone.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Right now, my method is
convoluted, but functional. I also need to teach 6 other employees how
to
work with this, and all but 1 are completely computer illiterate. This
backwards method makes sense to me, because I understand the program and
have been around computers since 1991.

I don't have Access on this machine. I do have Excel and Word from
Office
2003. And, what do you call that small pane in General View where you
can
type notes?
