Apologies for dumbness...

Is there a way to print out (or creat a PDF of) an email trail of around 150 emails in Outlook?

When I try, either the chronology goes odd, or (and sometimes as well as) the individual emails get thinner and thinner until they are simply a line of single vertical text.

Frustrating.

Hi, you can't save as PDF straight from Outlook. Save it as HTML file and open it in Word and either print from there or save as PDF from Word.
Search the help-bar for "save as HTML" for better instructions

We use PDF24 Creator which does this without problems from many different file types.

This sounds promising... could you explain a bit more, and imagine you're talking to a complete idiot? (You are)

It basically adds a "printer option" when you want to save your document as a PDF file.

When you have an open doument such as your email chain you can go to "Print", choose the print device as "PDF24" instead of your normal "blah.blah.printer" on the drop-down menu in the print setup window, and instead of sending to your printer it asks where you want to save the selected document as a PDF (for example on your Desktop) and that's it, job done.

(small spelling edit)

Select print on the email, then choose to print a range of pages and choose page 1 to 10. Then rinse and repeat for 11 to 20 and so on.
