Printing Outlook Calendar 2007

[Guest]

I have just updated from OfficePro XP to OfficePro 2007. My outlook calendar
arbitrarily does not preview of print a blocked segment (ie: vacation). It
prints "some" appropriately and others either drops the text and/or does not
complete the blocked dates. There was not problem doing this in XP. What
should I try? I believe my Outlook installation file on the CD must be
corrupt because it is doing it on both my desktop and laptop. If it is a
corrupt CD installation problem, how do I get another OfficePro 2007 disk for
a reinstall?

i have just submitted a question very similar to yours, the multi-day appt
shows up on the calendar, but not on the print out or print preview. mine
will print just a few random days of colored block with no label. i did not
upgrade to 2007, it came pre-installed on my new Dell w/ windows vista, so I
think it's unlikely to be an upgrade problem. my hourly appts are also
dropping off the end of the text, where in xp i thought i remembered they
wrapped the text?

Seems as though we are having the same problem. Would love some help in
solving this. We travel extensively and need that information at our
fingertips. In addition to this, I can't seem to synchronize my Palm
LifeDrive with Office 2007. Will it never end?!!

Has anyone solved this problem? If I mark my calendar to be out for a block
of time, say three weeks, the block and text description of the destination
show on the calendar screen. However, in print preview and in print, the
block does not appear for the three week period and the text disappears
totally. This feature is imperative for planning purposes. I might add that
in XP it worked perfectly and was my "almost" total reason in switching to
"Outlook". Will someone help me to solve this problem?

i actually got to speak with a customer service rep at MS today, they told me
that it couldn't be their problem and must be something Dell had done and
that I should call them. (whatever) so I call Dell and they said "what?
that's obviously a bug" so I asked if they would report it to MS and Dell
said after they get a certain number of calls they will. I also have a prob
now with outlook asking me for my hotmail password over and over again, as
well as the calendar wrapping the weekend problem.

Seems to me Microsoft just won't acknowledge the problem. Dell hasn't had my
machines for a couple of years.........so it's nothing that Dell has done to
screw up their calendar! I'll try to call MS to make a similar complaint and
see how far we get. What number are you calling?

(866) 452-4755 is the number for office 2007 "customer service" where you can
hear the "it ain't my fault" speech. they only will talk to you if you
purchased your product seperately, not if it came pre-installed (like mine).
so if they will talk to you, great and i would love to hear what they come up
with as an excuse for their buggy-ness. good luck

I see this issue popping up all over the internet, but no response from MS.
I have Office 2007 on XP SP2, a clean install (i.e. not an upgrade) and I
have the multi-day appointment problem too. I've tried it with a number of
different printers, so I don't think it's a driver issue. This is a Lenovo
laptop, so I don't think the "Dell screwed it up" excuse is correct either.


Part of what I do is scheduling overlapping multi-day jobs, so the inability
to print a meaningful calendar is maddening. I have resorted to "My Outlook
Calendar" freeware and manually editing the result, but what I really want
is what worked perfectly for me in Outlook 2003: appointments that span
Saturday-Sunday printed properly.

Their response will come in the form of a patch that fixes it or a KB
article telling you what you already know - that it's not the printer
driver.

Have you tried the Calendar printing assistant? It prints it correctly as
well.
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar_print.asp has a link to the
assistant.

I just downloaded and installed the printing assistant. I don't know what
I'm doing wrong, but I can not even find a way to open it or use it. Does it
open from within Outlook? I don't see a link to it from either within or
without.

Finally loaded and opened the assistant and found it useless as well! It
won't even let you change the start and end time, just crunching all your
appointments after 4:00 onto the bottom.

There are a number of problems with Outlook 2007 and calendar printing -
SP1 fixes most of the ones I've tested and will be out later this year.

You can also try the calendar printing assistant or other 3rd party tools
