How to Print a Microsoft Forms Title with Individual Responses

Product: Microsoft Forms
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Printing physical copies of individual form submissions or exporting detailed response records for documentation.
Observed behavior: Microsoft Forms omits the form title from the printed individual response page and the internal worksheet of the exported Excel file, though it may appear in the file name.

Before you start

Ensure you are logged into your Microsoft 365 account and possess owner or editor permissions for the specific form to access individual response data.

Solution 1Recommended

Print Directly from the Microsoft Forms Interface

This is the most straightforward method to retain the form title, as printing directly from the web interface captures the form's summary layout.

Microsoft Forms natively displays the title on the summary view. By printing directly from your browser, the title is preserved on the hard copy.

Open your Form

Navigate to Microsoft Forms and click on the specific form you wish to print.

Navigate to Responses

Click on the 'Responses' tab located at the top of the form layout.

View Individual Results

Click on 'View results' to see individual submissions.

Print the Response

Click the 'More options' icon (three dots) on the right side of the response screen and select 'Print response' to open your browser's print dialog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't the Microsoft Forms title included inside the exported Excel file?

By design, Microsoft Forms applies the form title to the downloaded Excel file's name but only exports the raw question columns and submission data into the worksheet grid itself.

Can I print all individual responses at once directly from Microsoft Forms?

No, the Microsoft Forms web interface only allows you to print individual responses one by one or print the overall summary page. To print all detailed responses in bulk, you must export the data to Excel.

How can I suggest Microsoft to add automatic titles to Excel exports?

You can provide product suggestions and feature requests by visiting the official Microsoft Feedback Portal. Search for Microsoft Forms and submit your idea for automatic title inclusion in Excel exports.
