MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / August 2006Customise day/week view?
The printed day/week view is great - it provides about 90% of the information I need on the one page. But I need a few more information fields. Is it possible to create a custom form based on day/week view? I don't see day/week view as a template option under Tools|Forms|Design a form. I'm familiar with creating custom forms. Many thanks.  SignatureTed No, it sounds like you're confusing folder views and custom forms. The view shows multiple items from the folder. A custom form shows a single item.

Many thanks. hmmm perhaps I should have used the word 'report' rather than 'form'. When outlook sends the day/week view to the printer, that file sent to the printer must be generated from some type of template - an arrangement of margins, borders, lines, calendar grids, and the results of some sort of query that provides the data items arranged on the page. For day/week view, the query data would be fields for a given day's appointments - time, with whom, location. I just need a few more fields to appear in addition to the ones already provided in the report. I'd like to create a custom report based on the day/week report that outlook compiles and sends to the printer. SignatureTed > No, it sounds like you're confusing folder views and custom forms.

Many thanks. Take a look at the Word macros in the templates listed at http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar.htm#print, which take Outlook calendar data and put it into Word tables. That should get you started.
