Problems with the Printing Assistant
Sunday, August 26th, 2007I recently wrote about what a nifty tool the Outlook 2007 Calendar Printing Assistant is. And it is nifty, yet a few annoying issues that have left us relying on printed screen shots instead. Hrrm. Unfortunately, the Printing Assistant:
- Doesn’t render items in the calendar in the same left-right order as Outlook. (Neither does OWA for that matter.. This is a really minor point but seems to drive some people absolutely crazy.)
- Doesn’t apply category colors.
- Doubles-up appointments on occasion for no apparent reason.
The last two points, especially, justify our decision to just bang on the PrtSc key when needed.
That and I can’t quite seem to figure out how to reworks some of the .xcal templates so that we can change working hours. (Which would ideally already be read from the calendar settings in Outlook.. Double Hrrm.)
