"I am sure" you'd be wrong about that. In today's world, Microsoft sets priorities for fixing problems based largely on what real world customers report. The more people report a problem, the more apparent it is that there is an issue that needs attention.

Filing a problem report through your vendor should not involve a fee, as long as it's a new machine. Whether Dell sends the report along to Microsoft is something none of us can control, of course.

If *you* approached Microsoft-and I am sure that they know who you are-
something might get done.

Can you print from an instant search? It supports all the fields Advanced
find does. (Expand the ^ and add criteria)

Nope-

I'm just doing what I have done since Outlook 97. I search the category,
the
contacts with the search word appear in Table View, and I go to
File|Print.
That is what I have always done.

Are you using a custom view in Advanced Find?

I am sure that you are all trying to be helpful, but I find it hard to
believe that I would have the exact same problem on two different
machines
with two different printers.

Detect and Repair is a pretty global tool, it just goes through
everything,
one can not specify a problem to be solved. So, It is not very useful
if
99%
of the functionality is there.

As I said, I can make a sub-folder of the search word, do the Advanced
Find
search on the category with the search words, and then copy the results
in
to
the new sub-folder, which does print fine in Table View.

So, sorry, I think it is a bug. Can y'all tell me exactly what are your
steps, the way I outlined my steps?

Also, I do not know what Ms Poremsky would be referring to in the way
of
an
addin.

If it works for others, it may not be an 'outlook bug' - it could be
drivers
or an addin specific to your installation causing problems. (Works
for
me... on vista business to oki printer and also print to OneNote)

If you r-click on one contact, does it print the contact? Did you try
using
detect and repair? What permissions does your user account have?

Does the file print menu work for you? If so, it's much easier than
messing
with extra folders.

Hi, thanks, my Office 2007 came on my new Vista computer. Actually,
two
copies, one on a Vista Business machine, one on a Vista Home Premium
machine.
Same results on both.

I am much more looking to get this to the developers and to get it
fixed
than I am looking for a fix of *my* problem.

File | Print | Table View works fine here.

If you have a retail version of Office (or standalone Outlook),
support
is free for the first 90 days after activation. See
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vista_supoffnew for more
information
on
this support policy.

This is not a new topic, but I cannot find the original post.

This is definitely a bug:

I use a Contact folder for vendors (distributors). I have search
words
(manufacturers) saved in a category of the contact. I search the
search
word
in advanced find and get a list of contacts. I should be able to
print
the
list in Table View. But when I print ( have tried every way of
printing
with
left click and right click that you name) all I get is the column
headings
and a border around the page. The results of the search do show
in
Print
Preview.

This has worked in every iteration of Outlook since Outlook 97.

I tried to call this into Microsoft as a bug, but I was told I
would
have to
pay for technical support and then get a credit if I was correct.

The work-around is to make a subfolder of the search term, do the
search,
copy the results in to the new subfolder which then will print in
Table
View.

This needs to get to the developers.

As I said, the way to make sure the developers know about it is to
file a support incident. Since you got your copy with your new
machines, file the bug with the hardware company. THey are obligated
to handle Office support incidents as part of their agreement with
Microsoft to pre-load the software.

And of course, they'll say "It's not our software. call Microsoft."

I agree with Richard. I have had several problems with printing Advanced Find.
