printing notes section of Calendar Outlook on the web
-
I have a user who wants to print what's written into the notes section of a calendar entry. Unfortunately, it's more than one page, and when you ctrl ^ P you only get the first page worth.
This is in Outlook on the Web - the user does not use locally installed Outlook.
As a side note - I don't believe it's actually called the notes area - when I Google for this, the term note always leads me to the yellow sticky type of notes under OneNote within the calendar in Outlook on the Web, so If you know the better term for this area in a calendar entry that would be helpful as well.

@dashrender Outlook on the Web just prints what you have showing only and 1 page. So you will have to scroll down to each part of the notes and print. That's the only way. You can even send the calendar to OneNote but that also is not great.

@dbeato The user selected everything in the area, pasted into Word and then printed what they wanted.
I suggested that this area is not really meant for printing - and if documents need to be printed - that the items should be attachments, not free text.
I also said I'd put it out to the world and google and see if someone had a better answer.

You're referring to the event's description. That's what Microsoft calls it.
It even says add a description when it's empty.

Outlook-on-the-web is pretty thin on printing features. I logged in and tried a couple of different ideas but couldn't find a way to print a long event description either. It is what it is I guess.
We use Zoho primarily and as a comparison Zoho's calendar lacks rich text formatting in the description but render links and will print multiple pages of description - if you pick print while viewing an event, not ctrl+p.
Gmail on the other hand will also print several pages of the description - if you pick print on an appointment, not ctrl+p. It supports rich text formatting but will drop the formatting when printing.

Thanks for looking - I'm definitely not changing systems just for that function - but perhaps that will be helpful for someone else.
