March 2008 calendar print bug?

March 2008 is odd because there are days in six weeks rather than the usual
five. If I print the monthly view calendar (landscape mode, although I don't
think it matters) and print March alone or March and April, I get a page with
all six weeks.

However, if I print February and March or January through May, the March
calender shows only five weeks. March 31 (and its appointments) does not
print on the March page. It does print on the April page, but without the
appointments.

This caused some problems for me as I was planning my semester because I
print blank calendars and pencil in my tentative schedule before entering the
info into Outlook. I "lost" a Monday, which is both a lecture and a lab day.
Although it shows up on the April calendar, I am not scheduling March
appointments on the April page.

Once I discovered the missing Monday, I scheduled everything correctly but
realized what had happened when I was using the printout to enter dates into
my syllabus and March 31 with appointments was missing. I did some playing
this morning and was able to get the six-week month so I know that I will
have to print that month separately, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Also, I don't understand why my appointments can be perfectly readable but
when I print in portrait mode, some of the text is lopped off. I've tried
every way I could think of to change the font in the printout, but I haven't
found anything that works. The calendar printing add-on gizmo thingie isn't a
solution because it prints the appointments in alphabetical order, ignoring
the space that I put in front of "Lec" entries so that they sort before "Lab"
entries.

Thanks,

liz

Oops! I forgot to mention that this is in Outlook 2007. Sorry.

Are you using the option to print one month per page? Are you using Sun -
Sat weeks?

There are a number of calendar printing bugs fixed in SP1 and I can't repro
this so its possible SP1 fixed it. One not fixed is the titles are messed up
if it start it Dec 1 (ie, Feb is titled "Jan - March"  and April is "March -
May") but fine if I start in Jan.

Diane,

I am using the one-month-per-page option, but I am using Mon-Sun weeks.

I am running Office 2007 on three computers and I'm not sure which of them
have been updated with SP1. Might try that on the one from which I print the
calendars and see if that fixes the problem.

I did have the the weird title issue, too, but not on the set that I printed
for five months so I can deal with that.

Ok... I just repro'd it.  For whatever reasons, each month is locked on 5
weeks if you start in Jan (because it spans 5 weeks) and 6 weeks if you
start in Dec (covers 6 calendar weeks).  The calendar layout does not adjust
for different length weeks.

Dianne,

Thanks. I'll just print to PDF and delete the December page. Easy
workaround, and that's all that matters. Thanks for confirming.
