Calendar Printing Assistant Formating
in [Calendar]

From: SD on 23 Jan 2009 14:22 I looked over this string of posts and it was helpful for me. One additional question that I thought you might be able to help with. Do you know what part of the "content.xml" file controls the location of the date on the monthly calendar? I was able to change the font size based on your instructions but would also like to change the location from the center as it is by default to maybe the bottom or bottom corner of the square. Any help is appeciated. "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: > something is not right - the copied original should not change in size at > all.

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 24 Jan 2009 22:46 In the standard monthly calendar 1 (Month_StandardMonth01.catx), day format is at approx row 87: <DayFormat> <Grid RowSetting="*" ColumnSetting="*" Height="Auto" Style="LevelLeafParent"> <CalendarText Row="0" Column="0" FontSize="30pt" FontWeight="Bold" Text="#[%d]" FontFamily="style!FontMajor" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Right" > I added VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Right" to the calendar text row and changed the 46pt font to 30pt. To help you find it in any layout that uses different color text for weekdays and weekends, look for something like the following in the code and look in the same section (should always be DayFormat section) for the line with the font size. Add (or change) the Vertical and Horizontal alignment. <Foreground> <SolidColorBrush Color="style!mainDark1" Tint=".7"/> </Foreground> <ConditionalFormat Condition="DayOfWeek eq 'sun'"> <Foreground> <SolidColorBrush Color="style!WeekendColor" Tint=".7"/> </Foreground> </ConditionalFormat> <ConditionalFormat Condition="DayOfWeek eq 'sat'"> <Foreground> <SolidColorBrush Color="style!WeekendColor" Tint=".7"/> -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
