Looks great. How is it accessed from within Outlook?

Good question Ian! The Calendar Printing Assistant can’t be accessed within Outlook, it’s a separate program. You can find it in the Start menu under Programs | Microsoft Office | Microsoft Office Tools | Calendar Printing Assistant.

Very cool, but it's possible to edit this templates for other languages?

I am a regular user of the "three panels" printing template but

- I didn't find the way to set it as the default calendar printing format, any tip is welcome if someone knows how to do it. Otherwise if there is a way to promote this feature .....

- I search if it was possible to create a macro to solve this issueand it looks like it is also not possible

Any reason why this isn't directly intergraded into Outlook?

I need a calendar that spans three months, or date to date, on a page that is layed out like the month view that counts weeks (Standard Month with Weeks 01)

Is there any way of convincing the view to do this?

I would not need the month header as I could identify the month in the cell on the left of the week.

An alternative is to use a 3rd party app called WinCalendar. It converts your Outlook Calendar into fully editable MS Word & Excel formats!

Andrew, it can do exactly what you wrote. It has many size/layout options :-). The download site is http://www.wincalendar.com

Is it possible to put a label in a weekly view, as in the monthly views ?

I'm with John-Wayne on this one - any way to edit the templates? I'm printing out calendars for the church and some holy days are not on weekends. How to make those days a different color or block in the day on the full year calendar?

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but for purposes of offering a suggestion about CPA:

WinCalendar actually is relatively INflexible as a format converter. Specifically, there are dozens of excellent MS- and community-contributed Word templates for calendars languishing at the Office Online site, none of which can be used to print with Outlook or WinCalendar. What CPA should become is WinCalendar+. It should allow the export of a calendar into any Word file OR TEMPLATE.

To give this even more flexibility, and so that there's no confusion on CPA's part, even better would be for CPA to come with a Word macro to import the appropriate Outlook data into any cell, on a cell-by-cell basis. Then users could tinker as much as they needed to with various ways to plant the info in a document -- for example, embedding two weeks' worth of appointments; two peoples' appointments; or even the "Miniature Calendar" in your next post!

I use "Categories" in Outlook 2007 to visually organize calendar appointments that relate to different departments in our office. I would like to print a monthly calendar that shows these color categories AND the full title of the appointment, but I cannot find a way to do it with the Calendar Printing assistant. Anyone out there have any thoughts?

Could you please tell me if I could print the calendar used in our public folders and not only my personal calendar?

re: Cool Trick: Calendar Printing

Edd — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:28:05 GMT

I need to print a weekly view of a public calendar where there are 25 or more meetings a day. The standard Outlook Calendar template for a weekly view truncates the meetings when there are more than 15 (or 11 depending on the paper size and orientation).

Michelle,

I don't think you can do that solely in Calendar Printing Assistant(CPA). What you can do is in Outlook create sub-calendars. Name them Dept A, Dept B, Dept C, etc.

Once you've done that go to View -> Current View -> By Category. Move your Dept A appointments to your Dept A sub-calendar, Dept B to Dept B, and so on.

Then in CPA go to Insert -> Calendars and Tasks. In the Calendars and Tasks task pane choose the + sign next to My Calendars and Tasks and add Dept A, Dept B and so on. In the Calendar Bar Pane, change the color of the bullet or even change the shape of the bullet. You cannot change the color of the font. I don't know if this will work for you, but it's a possibility.

One other thought: if you can have other people keep track of their own department's appointments and then have them share that folder with you, then other people's calendars' appointments can be placed in one calendar the same way that you can put in your own sub-folder calendar.

Good luck.

Hi - just wondering if anyone knows how to reduce the size of the fonts in the calendars and how to have the entire subject line show in the calendar and when it is printed - thanks!

What I really want is the ability to format the single day page layout to shrink the top and bottom blank line sections. I really want my 15 minute printing interval back for 12 hours days.

Please, MS Outlook team, enrichen the print setup so we can opt out of the extra blank lines and get our 15 minute option back.

Thanks! Michael.

Will this add-in support printing an Outlook calendar to a PDF file?

re: Cool Trick: Calendar Printing

Don_Rey — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:03:47 GMT

NOt sure if this has already been answered or not, but i need to know how to print the full details of each appointment in the month print format as in 2003 outlook, you were able to see everthing in that date, it would just wrap the text. Hopefully someone can help resolve this question.

It would be cool, except that after downloading the program it keeps insisting that I close Outlook 2007 before installing. But, Outlook 2007 WAS closed already. Now what?

I Give Up!!!

Theresa — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:06:15 GMT

I have been trying for several DAYS to print a calendar on my HP printer (Windows XP user). The very first time I tried it worked and then never again. The printer sounds like it is going to print, then stalls. Some time later it sputters some more and I end up with a page with smudges along one side. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the monthly templates have the date hiding behind the text. It makes reading my text almost impossible...love the program but can't use it if I can't read my text - please...please...please remove the date hiding behind the text...it isn't really hiding! Thank you!

My Outlook Calendar printing problem won't be solved by this program - - I think!! Here it is: When you print a monthly calendar, the template that spits out has 2 "mini" calenders in the top right hand corner; one with the next month, AND, (and here is my problem) one with the current month. Traditionally, calendars that include the "mini" calendars do so to ostensibly allow you to look backward a month and forward a month (in miniature form), on your current month's large calendar. That way, you can count weeks, or look to see what day of the week something occurred on, etc. But Outlook has always (at least in the former version, and the version I just received the other day) had the mini version of the current month on the current month's calendar - - what gives? Why the redundancy? Is it a scrivener's error that no one else caught on to? Please, if there is a simple way to change this, do share!! Kudos to the first technofile who has a fix!

I have been unable to get calendar assistant to stop listing calendar information - appointments, events, etc. twice. Is there a way to have the monthly view not list this information twice?
