Outlook 2007 Tri Fold Printing - Issues

A

Adam

Hi,
I just upgraded to Outlook 2007 from 2003. I used to print a tri-fold
calendar every week, with the weekly schedule on the left, TaskPad in the
middle, and a monthly calendar on the right.

With 2007, the monthly calendar on the right does not include any times for
meetings. I have even reduced the font size to 2 and it still doesn't help.

Also, is there a way to remove/combine weekend days like in 2003? At this
point, in both the weekly and monthly trifold print, they are included. In
2003, they would be included in a single/combined box.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Times can be included only when there's enough screen real estate to show
them. Calendar printing is bad enough in Outlook 2007 that Microsoft produced
a "Calendar Printing Assistant" to cope with some of the deficiencies. There
are Word templates that can be used as well. See

That feature was removed because it was not compatible with the calendar
overlays that were introduced.

Thanks for the reply, Brian.

I have reduced the font to 2, and it still does not show the times in the monthly calendar view, although at 2 font, it shows the entire entry. I think is has something to do with the weekends showing up on the monthly view. I checked the option to not print weekends, but it doesn't seem to matter in the trifold view.

I tried the calendar printing assistant, but it was no help. Without the ability to modify their templates, it was useless.

Any other suggestions? I am so frustrated that I am considering downgrading back to 2003.

I'm not sure why you posted this again in a new thread. if the Calendar
Printing Assistant doesn't help, then one of the other tools seems your only
choice.

Thanks for the reply, Brian.

I reduced the font size to 2, but that didn't work. The whole appt showed
up, but it was centered and still contained no appt times. Certainly, there
was enought space at 2 font size to include the appt times. Can the trifold
template be modified? I have a hard time believing that 2007 has such less
printing functionality that 2003! Had I know this, I would not have
upgraded...

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated...
