I would like to use Outlook 2007 to print calendars, telephone lists, and
task lists for a Franklin Covey 'Classic' size Day Planner (5.5" x 8.5").
My printer does not support 2-sided printing, so I would like to do this
using manual duplex. Manual duplex option is available in Word 2007, but not
in Outlook.
Printing "2 pages per sheet" does not work correctly, especially when trying
to print calendars (such as a week view where each week stretches over two
pages).
The CPA (Calendar Printing Assistant), while offering many nice calendar
templates, does not solve the manual duplex problem.
My temporary solution is to use Outlook and/or the CPA to print to a
shareware product called 'FinePrint', then use FinePrint to print to Booklet
form using a manual duplexing option. This works, but because FinePrint is
reducing the size from letter to 1/2-letter, many of the fonts become rather
small and difficult to read. There is also a margin problem, where there is
a lot of wasted space. If Outlook and/or the CPA could print directly to
booklet form supporting manual duplex, the end result would be a very nice
printed calendar that could be inserted to a Day Planner.
Obviously, once you support manual duplexing for one day planner, you should
support a variety of day planners and paper sizes. Since you already support
many day planners and page sizes, I believe once you add the manual duplex
option, this would benefit users of many systems.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
