OL98: Text Does Not Wrap in Monthly Calendar View

ID: Q179359

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you view or print Microsoft Outlook 98 calendar information in a Daily, Weekly or Monthly style, the subject text does not wrap within each day. If the text exceeds one line, the text is truncated.


WORKAROUND

To maximize the space for printing the subject in Daily and Weekly styles, click Page Setup in the Print dialog box and click to remove the options to include TaskPad and Notes area in the printout.

To maximize the space for printing the subject in the Monthly style, set the option to Compress Weekend Days. This will compress Saturday and Sunday to one column, allowing the other columns to be little wider and allow more room for text.

To Compress Weekend Days, follow these steps:

  1. On the View Menu, point to Current View and then click Customize Current View.


  2. On the View Summary dialog box, click Other Settings.


  3. In the Month section, click to select Compress Weekend Days, and then click OK and OK.


NOTE: You can print a monthly calendar that word wraps daily appointments within each day by using Office automation with Microsoft Word 97 for Windows. Microsoft provides a free Outlook Calendar Template for Word 97, which will automate this process.

For an example of how to use Word for Windows 97 to print an Outlook monthly calendar with word wrapping appointments, please refer to:
