I'm a Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 user and I find the printing options for
Outlook a little weak. Microsoft has addressed this somewhat with the
Outlook Calendar Printing Assistant Add-on but there is one feature that is
an obvious miss. Custom Views.
Outlook is great for customizing views and providing a number of methods to
filter your calendar. Unfortunately you can only print from the outlook
program the included 5 template methods. Using the Outlook Calendar Printing
Assistant, there are no filters or custom views. There are a ton of nice
looking and good scaling templates, but if you want to print only
work-related categories or only personal categories it's not an option. The
customization in the Assistant is for looks only.
There is a workaround (and someone tell me if there is a simplier way):
Export your calendar to an iCal file, load it up in outlook, delete the
appointments you don't want, and then run the Assistant reading that iCal
file instead. Cumbersome, but it works for now.
