Slipstick's "My Outlook Calendar"

I saw a recommendation on this newsgroup recommending Slipstick's "My Outlook
Calendar" to customize a Word template for generating and printing Outlook
weekly and monthly calendars. I downloaded/extracted the file and gave me a
..dot Word template, but when I opened it up in Word, I got a blank page and
an error message saying the macros had been disabled. This does seem like a
tool I could use, so does anyone have any idea what I need to do to make it
work? The web site has no instructions unfortunately.

Alternatively, can anyone recommend another program?
 
Tools | Macro | Security will give you the dialog to enable macros to run.

Thank you, Sue. I believe you are the person who I saw recommending the
template. However, I still can't get the template to work. I'm using Word
2000, and after going to Tools/Macro/Security to turn the security down to
low, I get only two macros (Autonew and Restart), neither of which works. I
get an error message saying the macros in this project are disabled. What
gives?

Frankly, I'm not sure I know what I'm doing. Is there an instruction manual
someplace with a step by step? I really have no clue what I'm doing.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Is there a better calendar printing system for Outlook?
 
After changing macro security, close Word. Then run the template.

The instruction manual for VBA is the Help file in Word. You can look up macro security there and get other basics on using VBA.

No, since there's no Outlook VBA code involved, it's Word's macro security that makes a difference here.

Nobody answered this query from michaeln so could I ask what is wrong with
using the Print menu in Outlook itself ?
I use that alone for printing off my monthly calendar and find that once
you've got it configured the way you want it,
the output is excellent.
 
It doesn't wrap subject lines, doesn't print the correct thumbnails, and can't be customized more than a little bit.

michael,

I like the template you are referring to. Tools>>Macro>>Security>>Medium is a good choice in macro security. It prompts you to enable macros in a file that you open, so you can choose whether or not you trust the source of the file.

I can't get slipstick to work using Outlook 2007. All I get is a blank
calendar in Word - no Outlook appointments are pulled through
