I have the same problem. This is so stupid considering all calendars are
printed starting with Sunday. It's useless I guess I have to stop using this
calendar and go back to buying them or find another program. How stupid is
Microsoft anyway? My calendar looks great on screen but I can't get it to
print that way. What ever happened to the old print screen button? I tried
the answer one person gave but that was to print by week. I need two
pg/month.

work week on Sunday identified and uncompressed the weekend buttons and still
it starts my weekly calendar (and any other calendar for that fact) on
Monday. It is frustrating. Has anyone found an anwer yet?

It doesn't work for me!! I am trying to print a Weekly calendar, and it
prints Monday First, even though I have the display as Sunday First. I have
all 7 days checked as well. This is really annoying as it throws me off a day.

It seems to me that no matter what I select as my start day, it prints with
Monday first.

Some of us are talking past each other here. I am having the same problem as
ScottD. The original question in this thread had to do with the MONTH
calendar but the solution offered was for the WEEK calendar. I still need to
know how to print the MONTH calendar with Sunday as the first day of the week
and the Saturday and Sunday blocks being the same size as every other day of
the week. Having a monthly calendar that prints Saturday and Sunday in
compressed form is worthless to me. Any suggestions?

I tried the instructions by clicking "Don't Print Weekends". Amazing Amazing!
This worked! Thanks a million. Who would have thought by clicking this is
would work! I am still amazed. Now I can print my own appointment book!

Do you have your defined work week as Sunday through Saturday? Do you have
your printing set up to use the 8 1/2 x 11 paper size? Are you using Memo
style?

Hi Scott, I have the same problem. I wonder if you found an answer. I
believe that the trouble is because of using the 2 page layout. If I use a 1
page layout for the monthly I get all 7 days. The two page layout starts
with Sunday (Thanks to the neat trick of not clicking print the weekends) but
I am missing Thursday and Friday. Is there any good news from anyone?

The problem is when you try to print the monthly calendar, portrait style on
8 1/2 x 11, 2-pages per month. This would give me something ike sun,mon,tues

Well I am not sure what to say. Except that the programers that wrote this
need to go back to programing 101. i love that so many microsoft programs try
to make to many descissions for you (just the way you don't want it) and then
when you want to make a decission for yourself - they keep you from doing it
(one way or another) thanks Kidatply - is I new where you were I would bring
you a basket of delicous and exotic fruits!

Related questions which I don't think were answered in the many threads on
this issue, but forgive me if I somehow missed it.
1) What if I just want to View the Weekly Calendar with Sunday First ...
I have Outlook 2002?
2) In Weekly view, how do I make Sat/Sun same size as M-F? I have as
many appointents on weekends as I do during the week.

BTW, I echo many of the other frustrated users. It's unbelievable that such
a massive thread would be needed for what should be a simple fix. Can you
believe the amount of steps required just to print out the Calendar the way
you want it? Can you believe how irrational they've made the interface?
These questions shouldn't even be on a thread. It just reiterates the
logical conclusion that either:
1) The programmers are morons, or rather the people who oversee the
programmers are morons, or
2) It's all part of the plan to create more peripheral business, and/or
3) Microsoft is not willing to take the small amount of time it takes to
do it right the first time, thereby subjecting the masses to misery.

Regardless of the above, programmers should almost NEVER be the program
interface designers, and program interface designers should be ANAL in their
their attempts to make programs simple, logical, and flexible. If I wasn't
stuck using this program or Microsoft Office (even though some features of
Excel and Word are pretty good), because my company uses it, I wouldn't need
to be in this forum writing this.

Hey...i've been struggling with the same irritating, mind-numbing issue.
Using all of the suggestions here i still haven't gotten outlook to print a
two page monthly calendar beginning with Sunday w/o "compressing" weekends (I
guess folks at Microsoft have no appointments or business on Sat. or
Sun....must be nice). Anyhow, i have found a compromise although it might
not work for everyone. If you print the ONE page monthly view on 11X17
paper, you can cut it and still fit it into a notebook. Of course, you have
to have a printer capable of doing that...

Anyway... maybe outlook 2007 will "fix" this quirk. that's what it is all
about isn't it? giving us reasons to keep buying the new releases...sigh.

I, too, agree with JonWard. The fix works for one page per day in monthly
printing, but just as jonward writes, when selecting 2 page per month the
weekends again are compressed. I think Microsoft does this on purpose, that
way we have to buy Daytimers and Franklin coveys products if we want to use
paper products.

I agree. I uncheck the compress weekend days and I still get the weekends
compressed when trying to print the 2 page/month lay out. If anyone figures
this out, please let me know.

Also, when is Office 2007 being released for sure. I can't find anything,
but sometime in 2007.
