Would tasks work for you? You can create a monthly grid view of tasks.

FWIW, if you just need a printed calendar sheet to write in, there is a word
template which will work nicely, with or without outlook. Two are listed at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar_print.asp. On that page are other
addins which may handle printing in a manner which better meets your needs.

Husband and I are both retired and have never used Outlook before, even
though it's installed on our home computer.

Now that we have more time on our hands, we're using the Outlook monthly
calendar: we print out a "blank" month at a time, pop the page into a ring
bind folder, and then write (by hand) notes on the various days.

We would like to be able to do this on-screen though, rather than with a
pen!

We're planning a day-by-day schedule for a holiday next February but we
cannot work out how to "write" timetable notes into the squares for each
separate day.

We have tried to do this in monthly calendar view, but can only get one
line
to appear. When we "write" another line, it appears above the original
entry,
and so the timing sequence is wrong.

When we enter information into the "day" calendar, it appears in the
monthly
view with strange times so that for a 7.30am departure, the entry comes up
as
07.00 07.30.

We don't need Outlook 2000 to schedule business appointments or meetings
or
share with contacts etc, just the Outlook calendar to simply input
day-by-day notes to ourselves which can then be printed out in hard copy
form.

I know this will seem very, very elementary to experienced users, but
sadly,
we're completely lost! Advice really would be appreciated. Thanks!
