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.

No linking is involved. The tool you've downloaded is a Word template with macros. You can run the .dot file from whatever location you saved it on your machine. You might want to search your system for *.dot files and then move that template into the same folder where the normal.dot and other Word templates are stored.

Sorry, I must be missing something fundamental. I still get just a
blank word document. If I try "new" and the template window opens, it's not in there. My security is set to low. Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] wrote: No linking is involved.

Sorry, I must be missing something fundamental. I still get just a
blank word document. If I try "new" and the template window opens, it's not in there. My security is set to low. Is your *Word* macro security set to low? Did you restart Word after changing it? Can you use Alt+F11 to open the VBA environment and run the template's macros manually? One other thing... sometimes I get a "Run time error 429 ActiveX component can't create object" message. If you get an error from code statements like these: Dim ol as New Outlook.Application Set ol = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") the cause may be an anti-virus program on your computer that has a feature to block Outlook scripting. The solution is to turn off the script blocking feature. You may need to contact technical support for your anti-virus program to find out how to do that. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx wrote in message oups.com...
