MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / February 2006I would like to print the Outlook Today view for future dates.
I, and several of my friends, love the Outlook Today view of the calendar. However, we prepare for our work on the evening before so being able to view and print Outlook Today for future dates becomes extremely useful for planning purposes. This should be a simple addition and would be so helpful. Anita D. Wilkerson Future dates for what? Tasks? Calendar Items?

Tasks, Calendar Items, and forward days from the date being printed . Obviously, the messages will not necessarily be the same, but almost everything else could be. Another way of putting this. If I'm closing down on Friday, I'd like to be able to print an Outlook Today version of Monday on Friday instead of having to wait to log in on Monday. This will give me two more days to mull those items around before I have to act on them. The Outlook Today format puts all the information I need in one sheet. Anita D.

The setting in my Outlook Today are set for one day as a deliberate act. I don't want to see the whole week as I have a crowded schedule; therefore expanding the days will not help. I simply would like to be able to CHOOSE the day I'm printing out. I can do this for every other aspect of Outlook, for example if I want to print a daily calendar for Monday on Friday of the week before I can. If I want to print the tasks due on Monday out on Friday, I can. However, I can't print in advance the daily view of the one sheet that pulls it all together -- Outlook Today. To summarize: I would like to be able to select which day I'm printing out when I print out a single day view of Outlook Today, to wit, if I'm on Friday the 10th of February, I'd like to be able to print out Monday February 13, in the Outlook Today view in advance.

However, I think you are asking too much from a static page meant to show you what your upcoming items are for "Today" in Outlook.

In other words, my calendar and tasks for Wednesday are likely to be different *on* Wednesday as opposed to previewing it on Monday. But, try this: 1) In the calendar, go to the daily view for the date you'd like to print. 2) go to view - Taskpad 3) go to view - Taskpad View - Active Tasks for Selected Days 4) Check print preview to see if it looks like what you want. > I think I'm not asking too miuch, I'm the customer.... but then > Microsoft forgets that a LOT.

Two issues with your suggestion. First, it's not looking at Wednesday on Monday, it's looking at Wednesday on Tuesday evening, which is not likely to change, but allows me to internalize overnight. Second, the reason the Outlook view is important is that it puts the all the elements together, Tasks, Appointments, etc.... to allow for complete planning, i.e., I have five meetings but I have to get 3 reports out.... If I look at only the tasks, I don't see that my time is limited; conversely if I look only at the calendar, I don't see the tasks to be done. Again, thanks for writing.... I'm sure there's an answer out there if we keep trying...

Ok, here's my confusion. What exactly is the 'etc'? All I get on my Outlook Today is Calendar, Tasks and # of unread messages, and in terms of what you're looking for, I'm guessing the unread message count isn't needed. The steps I mentioned *does* put tasks and Calendar together on the printout. It *is* in one place. The only difference is that it looks differently. When I do a print preview following the steps I'll requote: >> 1) In the calendar, go to the daily view for the date you'd like to >> print. >> 2) go to view - Taskpad >> 3) go to view - Taskpad View - Active Tasks for Selected Days >> 4) Check print preview to see if it looks like what you want. I get my calendar *and* my tasks, and only the tasks due that date (or without a due date,) on the same page. I don't have to look at one list, and then at another. I see both. Is that what you see as well? > First, it's not looking at Wednesday on Monday, it's looking at > Wednesday on Tuesday evening, which is not likely to change, but [quoted text clipped - 108 lines] >>>>>> >>>> http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?mid=df8895ab-3707-4 8d6-8cd0-570a7b766bc4&dg=microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring Jayde: First of all, thank you for hanging in there with me. I followed the directions you gave and it's a lot closer, I can see both the tasks and the calendar on the same page, the only problem being that I can see both the completed and tasks yet to be done on that page, which is a bit confusing. I tried changing the view around and I still get the list of completed tasks on the print preview page. It's right on the screen view for that day, just not the printout. I'm careful to check my tasks as complete when they're done and I checked twice to make sure that I had selected Tasks for Selected Days. No joy. If we can get to only the tasks that are not complete and due on that date I think we may just have it! Any suggestions?

[quoted text clipped - 131 lines] > >>>>>> > >>>> http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?mid=df8895ab-3707-4 8d6-8cd0-570a7b766bc4&dg=microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring I can't reproduce that effect. Here's what I have for tasks: Task with no due date Task due on Tuesday Task due on Wednesday Task due on Thursday Completed task with no due date Completed task due on Tuesday Completed task due on Wednesday Completed task due on Thursday (I think you can figure out what the due dates are for each...) When I go to my calendar, and pull up the daily view for Wednesday, I see, in the taskpad pane: Task with no due date Task due on Wednesday Task due on Thursday If I go to print preview, that is all I see. The Thursday entry is easy enough to remove, I just tell it to start the task on thursday too. I am not seeing completed tasks. The only way I see completed tasks is if View - TaskPad View - Today's Tasks (or All Tasks). Is this OL 2003 or 2000? > Jayde: > [quoted text clipped - 155 lines] >>>>>>>> >>>>>> http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?mid=df8895ab-3707-4 8d6-8cd0-570a7b766bc4&dg=microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring Jayde: I think the reason you can't reproduce the effect is that there's something not quite set right on my home computer. Also, I just noticed that you mentioned that the start time has an effect and I hadn't paid attention to that. I've just tried it on my work computer and it works like a champ. Thanks!!!
