    Hi @James Bailey

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.  

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. 

    I understand the importance of having clear and consistent formatting, and I sincerely apologize if there’s any inconvenience this may have caused. 

    However, Outlook does not currently provide a built-in method to make all printed text appear in bold. As an alternative, you can increase the font size for better visibility: 

    To increase font size in classic Outlook: 

    1. Open Outlook and go to File > Options. 
    2. Select Mail, then click Stationery and Fonts.

    1. Under Composing and reading messages, choose your preferred font and size.

    1. Save changes and print again for improved readability. 

    If you were expecting a specific Outlook feature for bold printing, please let me know so I can confirm its availability or suggest other solutions.
