Second, the reason the Outlook view is important is that it puts the
all the elements together, Tasks, Appointments, etc....
Ok, here's my confusion. What exactly is the 'etc'? All I get on my
Outlook Today is Calendar, Tasks and # of unread messages, and in
terms of what you're looking for, I'm guessing the unread message
count isn't needed.
The steps I mentioned *does* put tasks and Calendar together on the
printout. It *is* in one place. The only difference is that it
looks differently. When I do a print preview following the steps
I'll requote:
1) In the calendar, go to the daily view for the date you'd like
to print.
2) go to view - Taskpad
3) go to view - Taskpad View - Active Tasks for Selected Days
4) Check print preview to see if it looks like what you want.
I get my calendar *and* my tasks, and only the tasks due that date
(or without a due date,) on the same page. I don't have to look at
one list, and then at another. I see both.
Is that what you see as well?

First, it's not looking at Wednesday on Monday, it's looking at
Wednesday on Tuesday evening, which is not likely to change, but
allows me to internalize overnight.
Second, the reason the Outlook view is important is that it puts the
all the elements together, Tasks, Appointments, etc.... to allow
for complete planning, i.e., I have five meetings but I have to get
3 reports out.... If I look at only the tasks, I don't see that my
time is limited; conversely if I look only at the calendar, I don't
see the tasks to be done.
Again, thanks for writing.... I'm sure there's an answer out there
if we keep trying...

There might be a way to get something close, but, I think one of
the reasons why this 'feature' doesn't exist is that the majority
of users calendars (at least in Microsoft's usability research)
change too often for 'Today' to be accurate in the future.
In other words, my calendar and tasks for Wednesday are likely to
be different *on* Wednesday as opposed to previewing it on Monday.
But, try this:
1) In the calendar, go to the daily view for the date you'd like
to print. 2) go to view - Taskpad
3) go to view - Taskpad View - Active Tasks for Selected Days
4) Check print preview to see if it looks like what you want.

Outlook Today is just that - "Today" - if you want a future date,
you can change your system time. However, I think you are asking
too much from a static page meant to show you what your upcoming
items are for "Today" in Outlook.

After furious head scratching, Anita Wilkerson asked:
I guess I haven't been clear enough. The setting in my Outlook
Today are set for one day as a deliberate act. I don't want to
see the whole week as I have a crowded schedule; therefore
expanding the days will not help. I simply would like to be
able to CHOOSE the day I'm printing out. I can do this for
every other aspect of Outlook, for example if I want to print a
daily calendar for Monday on Friday of the week before I can.
If I want to print the tasks due on Monday out on Friday, I can.
However, I can't print in advance the daily view of the one
sheet that pulls it all together -- Outlook Today. To
summarize: I would like to be able to select which day I'm
printing out when I print out a single day view of Outlook
Today, to wit, if I'm on Friday the 10th of February, I'd like
to be able to print out Monday February 13, in the Outlook
Today view in advance. Anita D. Wilkerson

Simply increase the number of days shown on Outlook Today - it
can be increased beyond the default maximum of 7 via a registry
setting.

After furious head scratching, Anita Wilkerson asked:
Future dates for all the items shown in Outlook. Tasks,
Calendar Items, and forward days from the date being printed .
Obviously, the messages will not necessarily be the same, but
almost everything else could be.
Another way of putting this. If I'm closing down on Friday,
I'd like to be able to print an Outlook Today version of
Monday on Friday instead of having to wait to log in on
Monday. This will give me two more days to mull those items
around before I have to act on them. The Outlook Today format
puts all the information I need in one sheet.

Future dates for what? Tasks? Calendar Items?

I, and several of my friends, love the Outlook Today view of
the calendar. However, we prepare for our work on the
evening before so being able to view and print Outlook
Today for future dates becomes extremely useful for
planning purposes. This should be a simple addition and
would be so helpful.
