Limitations
Outlook does not include any kind of year planner beyond what you see in the normal Day/Week/Month view. If you need to print out the full calendar for a year and don't like the way Outlook does it, you might try one of the Word templates listed at Calendar Tools.
You cannot print detailed notes from your appointments on a Day/Week/Month view printout. The Include: Notes area setting in the Page Setup dialog for different print styles refers to a blank area on the printout for handwritten notes. If you want a detailed printout of your appointments with notes, use the Calendar Details print style.
