Hi, I'm not sure if that would be possible.
However, just about all browsers today have "print to pdf" built in.
Would a PDF work for you?
If not, perhaps let us know the need to use word and maybe there is another solution.

Thanks,
David

Thanks for the reply.

Our need is that we have been able to copy a packing slip (no pricing, much older ECT version, just the basic product, quantity and customer details, then copy to a Word document. We then attach the Word document to an email, for our distrbution side, to process the order. It was the same as the text on the current print preview page, not copying the new order form, which requires considerble editing. We have been using a much older ECT version and have recently updated to 7.7.8. It would be much easier than converting to a PDF and attaching to the order entry email.

Thanks in Advance.

This is how a copy of what is in printer preview resolves. There is no spacing between the lines, as in the preview page

It seems if you can print to a PDF in one step and attach to an email that would be faster than copying content to word, and saving, then attaching that to an email.
It's less steps unless I am not understanding fully.
Additionally, a PDF will always look the same for everyone and depending on what version of word someone might have, the document may not render as desired.

If you are sending all of your orders to a fulfillment center, I think you could assign them as a drop shipper for all products and with one click, you could send them the order from your admin.

Thanks,
David
