Is the text in the message or is it an attachment to the message? If in the message have you tried clicking the mouse in it the press Ctrl+A to select all of the text then press Ctrl+C to Copy it followed by opening a word processor such as WordPad, Word, WordPerfect, Lotus WordPro, LibreOffice, etc, then Print or even Save and name the file.
If it is an attachment save it then double-click that file to open, should if you have a program installed that can handle it.

Dear Burton,
Thanks for your advising. Here's the thing: This 2-year old Lenovo with W-10 is not my preferred tool and I skeptically find Microsoft constantly asking for me to 'join' for all their offerings, which I dont want to do. As such, is there SOME word program that I can use (for this purpose) that is built into this cheap $400 unit ? Is microsoft's 'word' program my only choice? Do I have to buy it ? Thanks for helping me. chrysanthem7

I don't know if the usually offering of Microsoft Office is not installed one can download and install a free program such as LibreOffice that can open most office-type files except it doesn't have anything like Outlook. If the file turns out to be from Office the included-in-Windows WordPad should be able to open it. If the file turns out to be a .pdf file Edge may be able to open it.

Hi, Burton,
With some delays, Ive succeeded in downloading LibreOffice. While it looks complicated to use, as usual, it is what Ive been lacking in trying to print content from the body of gmails I receive, so thank you.
My next question is, if I 'close' the now-saved file in LibreOffice, where do I look to retrieve it ? Will it show up on my desktop ? Im used to 'save as' then asking where to 'save to' (it is currently sitting on the bar at the bottom of the screen ) Thanks for you help chrysanthem7

By default most office-type files will be in C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Documents, there's other folders to look in depending upon their type. I prefer to use Save As and specify a folder, especially when it's located elsewhere on the computer.

If want to print the whole email then Gmail has a option to do that. For example, at the top of a Gmail message is a tool that looks like a printer. You can click on that to print one or more pages in the email.

The beat way is to tell us what email program that you use or if you use your qeb browser. Programs are not built into your laptop they are a part od the software installed. Since you use google for email, you can use Google docs in conjunction by saving the email to docs.

Easier to just right click the highlighted selection then choose "Print selection" if it's not going to be saved.If in the message have you tried clicking the mouse in it the press Ctrl+A to select all of the text then press Ctrl+C to Copy it followed by opening a word processor such as WordPad, Word, WordPerfect, Lotus WordPro, LibreOffice, etc, then Print or even Save and name the file.
