    Limitations

    Outlook does not include any kind of year planner beyond what you see in the normal Day/Week/Month view. If you need to print out the full calendar for a year and don't like the way Outlook does it, you might try one of the Word templates listed at Calendar Tools.

    You cannot print detailed notes from your appointments on a Day/Week/Month view printout. The Include: Notes area setting in the Page Setup dialog for different print styles refers to a blank area on the printout for handwritten notes. It is not the same as the notes printout in Schedule+ (which included all appointment notes). If you want a detailed printout of your appointments with notes, use the Calendar Details print style.  

    Some other known problems:

  • OL2002: Exception to High Priority Recurring Meeting Normal
  • XADM Table View in Calendar Produces Memory Error -- fixed in Exchange 2000 SP2
  • XCON Meeting Requests That Use the iCalendar Format Are Not Processed Correctly -- Exchange 2000 issue
