Calendar Printing Tools for Outlook

This is a collection of print tools for the Microsoft Outlook Calendar.

In order to use the Word templates you will need to change macro security in Word's Tools, Macros, Security... to Medium, then close Word and reopen it. Approve the macro dialog when you load the template. In Word 2007, macro settings are in Office icon (former File menu location), Word Options, Trust Center link on left, Trust Center Settings button on bottom.)

Even though the information on templates state they are for older versions of Outlook, these templates will work with all newer versions of Outlook and Word, including 2003 and 2007.

Tip: The Calendar Printing Assistant adds a menu to the Start menu, not to Outlook's menus. Look for it under Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools.

Note that Outlook 2007 suffers from a printing bug where events which extend into multiple weeks do not print properly. This was fixed by Outlook 2007 SP1. If you can't or won't install the updates, use the Calendar Printing Assistant instead.

Another print bug in Outlook 2007 SP2 and earlier: subject lines are truncated. This is addressed by an April 2010 hotfix and included in the July 13 update. However, the end times don't print and the lines break between words. This will be fixed in a cumulative update expected Aug or Sept 2010. See OL2007: Line Wrap in Calendar Printout for more information and screenshots. You can also use the Calendar printing assistant if you need wrapped lines.

See Outlook 2007: Month Calendar Printing for a view bug which also affected printed calendars.

See Printing Calendars with Color Categories if your calendars are not printing in color.

If you are having problems printing duplex calendars correctly in Outlook 2003, see Outlook 2003 Calendar Duplex Printing Bug for more information.
