Taming the size of data in a rich text field

Good day learned ones,

I have a user that is copying and pasting large pictures and entire Notes emails into a rich text file. Because of this, when this particular document is printed, most of the information is cut off from the bottom and the right side. Is there a way I can make sure that everything gets printed out? I am on v6.5. I am starting out with 125 points and will be willing to go higher if it requires a lot of thinking on your part. Thanks again.

I agree with Marilyng, I don't think it's possible without third party software.

I asked a very similar question myself months ago....

I thought so. At not for anything within Notes. I wonder if there is anyway to encapsulate the emails and the pictures as an "attachment" in the rich text field and then provide a viewer for the user to take a peek at it. Any ideas?

Well, there are a few pieces of code that print the email with attachments, so take that code and send it to a PDF printer - the only "viewer" that would work would be a PDF file or a multi-page tif (fax). Or maybe .html?

You can send it to word and use a word viewer.. but I'm not sure what the point is.. when they can just open the email and read it? :)

OK, well, thx all. That answers my question. I'll have them print in landscape instead :)
