Outlook 2003: any way to automate calendar into a word document?

[Guest]

My new computer has Outlook 2003. With my old comptuer and Windows 98 I used
to be able to go into Word using the template OlCalndr.dot and it would
automatically turn my Outlook calendar into a word document. I terribly miss
this ability. Does anyone know how to do the same thing with Word 2003 and
Office Outlook 2003? I tried to use the same template with the new computer
but I get a message "Outlook must be running and have a valid calendar folder
selected."

So, was Outlook running and a calendar folder selected? Did you try the other application at http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar.htm#print?

Sue,

Thanks for responding. I have read some of your other answers in this area
but was a little lost and not sure if it applied for my particular problem.
Yes, the Outlook calendar was open and I did everything I have done before.
I visited the link but not sure which one to download, and where it should be
saved to to access it as a template. I am usually really good with computers
(no formal training) but some of the technical words (and explanations) are
confusing me. Many thanks!

You have nothing to lose by downloading and trying them all.

The default location for Word templates is in the same folder as the Normal.dot template.

The default location for Word templates is in the same folder as the
Normal.dot template.

And that would be %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates.

Thanks! I can never remember it.
