Jay, you are a genius among forum would-be-solution-providers; I'm tired of
people plainly offering would-be solutions and even if they did suggest the
right thing, why not include the how-to. The Printing Assistant (a.k.a.
CPAO) is junk; the only hope for it is editing xml, which is *NOT* for
ordinary people:


<SpanningAllDayArea MaxSize="96">
<AllDayAppointment Height="32">
<Content Orientation="Fill" FontSize="8pt" TextWrapping="Wrap">
<ContentElement Source="Subject" />
<ContentElement Source="CategorySymbols"/>
</Content>
</AllDayAppointment>
</SpanningAllDayArea>

I've tried all kinds of values for Height (e.g. auto or *), just using 32
for now (instead of 16), which forces all alldayappointments to have two
lines of space and TextWrapping works (i.e. simply removing the "No" from in
front of "Wrap" did the trick).

The fill color is another issue (i.e. haven't figured out how to get the
category colors as the fill color); so, for now, just including the colored
dot in the content area).


I'm better off just printing the Outlook 2007 calendar in monthly view
without the weekends and I pretty much get what I want (but the long subjects
get truncated, but at least more to preview without the weekends getting in
the way), as the other option is crappy old-school looking macros for Word or
Excel and CPAO, which is *JUNK*.

We don't have time to "do the homework" for everything or everyone. If its
something we've done for ourselves, then we'll have the specific solution,
otherwise we try to point people in the right direction and hope they can
figure it out on their own.
