In monthly view, the subject line of an all day event does not wrap. Does
anyone know of a way to remedy this?

Thanks in advance!

Please include your Outlook version for clarification in solutions. :)

Not natively, however there are many options, some free:

Outlook 2007:
I use "The Calendar Printing Assistant for Office Outlook 2007".
I really like it.

The Calendar Printing Assistant for Office Outlook 2007 is an
application for people who need an easy way to print and customize
their Outlook 2007 calendar information. It puts you in control
of the tools you need and helps you plan and create designer-quality
output.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA101687211033.aspx

Outlook many versions: My favorite is the "My Outlook Calendar"
however if you cruise the link below, you will see many other options
as well.

"My Outlook Calendar". You can
download this from the SlipStick.com site,
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar_print.asp
Customizable Word template for generating Outlook
weekly and monthly calendars.

This VERY COOL FREE template is run from a Word template
that when opened will read your calendar (Or any calendar
that you have access to) and build you a
completely editable calendar with all the details included.
All wrapped with complete information.

You may need to relax the Macros running in both Outlook
and MS Word.

In Microsoft Word Select:
- TOOLS menu
- Select MACRO
- Select SECURITY

In Outlook there is the same process, however, I believe it
is the Microsoft Word that will try to stop the macro in the
Word Template from processing. You will want to set it
to allow or give you the choice of running it. I would only
fix the WORD security first and see if that doesn't do the
trick.

No. The subjects don't wrap in the day/week/month view.

And where in "The Calendar Printing Assistant for Office Outlook 2007" does

No need. Did you install it yet?

If you really need to have word wrap - check out a Office addin called
wincalendar... it converts your Outlook Calendar to native Word -or- Excel
format (with word wrapping :-)

See: http://www.wincalendar.com/calendar-maker.html

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:

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.
