I track my hours in the Outlook calendar (by dragging and dropping tasks and
turning them into appointments for the duration of that activity in the "Day"
pane).

The resulting appointments carry the categories that were associated with
the original tasks (billable, non-billable, etc.). When I generate invoices,
I perform an Advanced Find on the Categories of interest and the
DateField.Start of "last month". While everything displays fine, both print
preview and print output (Table Style) only generate the first page of output
(and not all of that in many cases).

Memo Style prints all pages -- although in a format useless to me. This
technique worked successfully in both Office 2003 and XP.

Any ideas? I do not wish to invent an entirely new method of tracking my
time...I really like Outlook for this purpose.

What exactly do you mean by "the first page of output"? Have you considered creating new table views so that you don't have to run Advanced Find every time?

Thanks for such a fast reply! No, I hadn't really bothered creating any
special views. I tried it and it worked great, so thank you for improving my
process. However, that is a workaround to the real issue....Advanced Find
not printing ad hoc queries correctly.

To answer your other question...

It actually prints (and previews) a partial page of what I would expect to
be the first physical page of output from the printer and seems to be saying
it is a one-page document (Preview's multiple page button is disabled). For
example, when the Advanced Find output window shows entries from, say,
2006/12/01 through 2006/12/31 for two different subgrouped categories, the
print preview and actual print stop at about 2006/12/22. An actual count on
last month's calendar entries shows that print preview (and print) will
output 25 detail lines of information from the results pane. There are about
70 entries in the result pane, subgrouped across two different categories.
The output stops before reaching the end of the first category's detail
entries.

I hope that's more clear.

Interestingly enough, creating a text file using Save As... works (sort of)
by creating all of the entries. However, it appears Save As does NOT honor
the displayed columns of the result pane...only the default columns show up
in the text detail. Differnet issue, however. Just "interesting".

I have this same issue. Other than creating "special views", is there any
other way to get more than only 20-25 items to print?

I have just kept using the workaround. Frankly, creating the custom view is
pretty simple and I just went with that. I have much bigger problems with
Outlook 2007 stopping automatic send/recieve unexpectedly and having to run
scanpst.exe on a regular basis. Waiting for a good service pack, I guess.

John, thanks for the input. Fortunately, we have not run into the new issue
you are experiencing..........yet.

Some of the printing issues are fixed in the upcoming sp1 update.
Unfortunately, I don't know if this is one of the things that is fixed.

Have you tried the calendar printing assistant? it and other calendar
printing tools are listed at

Diane, thanks. I had not tried the calendar printing assistant. I installed
it, and though it has some nice features, doesn't give me the type of
printout we want. Can only hope SP1 will fix it. Thanks again.
