OL97: Text Does Not Wrap in Monthly Calendar View

 Last reviewed: January 19, 1998

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Outlook 97

SYMPTOMS

When you view or print Microsoft Outlook 97 calendar information in a monthly style, the subject text does not wrap within each day. If the text is too long to fit on one line, the text is truncated.

WORKAROUND

To maximize the text that will fit into the day area, set the option to "Compress weekend days." This will compress Saturday and Sunday to one column, allowing the other columns to size a little wider and allow more room for text.

To Compress Weekend Days, follow these steps:

  1. On the View menu, click Format View.

  2. In the Month section, click to select "Compress weekend days."

You can print a monthly calendar that word wraps daily appointments within each day by using Office automation with Microsoft Word 97 for Windows. Microsoft provides a free Outlook Calendar Template for Word 97, which will automate this process.

For an example of how to use Word for Windows 97 to print an Outlook monthly calendar with word wrapping appointments, please refer to:
