I know this is a very old question, but I'm new to using outlook for
calendaring/appointment making.

I have downloaded My Calendar onto my desktop and successfully opened a
word document by double clicking. I've tried following Nikki Peterson's
directions from a 2004 post (see copy below) but I can't figure out how
to link outlook with word. When I click on the calendar folder, where
do I find MY OUTLOOK CALENDAR template? Conversely, in Word, how do I
get MY CALENDAR to show up in the templates?

I have spent many hours on this and it's driving me crazy. If you can
help, please give very specific step-by-step instructions as I'm too
much of a novice (or idiot) to figure it out otherwise. Thank you very
much!

Copy of 2004 Post:

I have a new computer which uses Windows 2000. In Windows 98 I had a
really neat feature that allowed me to convert my Outlook calendar to a
Word
document. I saved the file but it does not work with my new system.
Does
anyone have a file like this that works with Windows 2000? I would be
in
Word, click on New, then on Other Documents, click on my calendar file
and
Word would open a document and put all my Outlook calendar info in this

document. It was easy to edit and make easier to read for my boss.
Any
suggestions?
Thank you.

My guess is that the solution I am about to suggest is
the same one you are using now. Read below for
security settings that may be causing you grief.

Sue Mosher's "Slipstick" site has a great calendar printer that
is a Word template...Very easy to use...

http://www.slipstick.com/addins/gall...ex.htm#myolcal
"My Outlook Calendar: Customizable Word template for generating
Outlook weekly and monthly calendars. Print any Outlook calendar
that you have access to, including calendars from other users'
mailboxes and Public Folders. Add color coding by category or by
type of item (one-day event, multiple-day event, etc.) Specify time
and date formats and the title for the calendar. Slower than the
Microsoft template, but it does much more and follows progress in
the status bar."

This is a template file. You can just open it by
double clicking it (this will open it up in Word).
If your Security is set too high in Word you may
have to lower it to run it.

Open Word
Select the TOOLS menu
Select MACRO
Select SECURITY...
Set to MEDIUM or LOW


Then open Outlook
Select your Calendar folder
Open the MY OUTLOOK CALENDAR template


If the macro still doesn't run immediately, look for
a button on your Word Toolbar called RESTART
Press it and wait a few seconds...
