Overview
VueMinder Calendar provides many different print layout styles and
settings, as well as a print preview window that is updated
automatically as print settings are modified. After you've
selected your print settings, you can continue printing by
clicking the "Print" button in the Print window.
Title
A title can be optionally specified.
The title will appear at the top of each printed page.
Date Range
You can specify a range of dates to print, either by making a
selection from the list, or by entering a custom date range.
Note that depending on the selected print layout style,
additional dates may be included in the printout. For
example, when using a Monthly print style, entire months
containing the starting and ending dates will be printed.
If a date range of 11/30/08 to 12/3/09 were specified, months
November, December, and January would all be printed in their
entirety. When printing a Yearly style, only the years of
the entered date range are used. Even if a print range of
a single day were specified, the entire year containing the date
would still be printed.
The following print range options are provided:
- Today - Today's date will be included in
the printout.
- The next 7 days - The next 7 days will be
included in the printout.
- The next 14 days - The next 14 days
will be included in the printout.

will be included in the printout.

will be included in the printout.

will be included in the printout.
- This calendar month - Dates in the
current month will be included in the printout.
- This calendar year - Dates in the
current year will be included in the printout.
- A range of dates - The specified start
and end dates will be included in the printout.
- The selected dates - The dates
currently selected in the
Calendar View or

will be included in the printout.
The starting or ending dates can be modified by selecting a
new date from the drop-down calendar, or by typing one in.
When a custom date is entered, the print range selection will
automatically switch to "A range of dates".
Layout

representation of your schedule.

locations, times, and descriptions in a report format,
organized by date.
- Memo - Prints event details in a
report format that is similar to the print style that
Outlook provides.
- List - Prints events, tasks, notes,
or contacts as a table, with pre-defined column
visibility, sort order, and filtering.

the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly styles on a
single page, using 3 equal areas (left, center, and
right).
- Calendar View - Prints exactly what
is shown in the main window's Calendar View.
You can select from a variety of print styles. You can also
choose to print in color (if supported by your printer) or
grayscale. Some
print styles have additional layout settings. These are
described in more detail below. Some print layouts also
allow you to choose whether to print a date header and whether
to exclude non-working days from the printout. Working

page to the clipboard as an image. This image could then be
pasted into other documents or presentations.
