I am trying to generate monthly calendar sheets from VLL that can be posted in church. When I add an entry it is frequently too wide to fit in a day box on one line. The entry is truncated at the day boundary. Is it possible to format entries so that they wrap properly on a day box boundary?

If not, is it something for which a style sheet is required? If so, how can I go about writing one?

Can I clarify how you normally print - is it the print function in the month-to-view calendar?

I don't think there is any way to modify the font currently, but it's the kind of thing we could add to an update.

I have the same problem.

The text does wrap around in the diary entry, but is truncated after one line in the Calendar display.

Printing the Calendar can then truncate this one line of already truncated text even further!

The usefulness of the Calendar is severely restricted when it is printed as so much information is lost, particularly when it is being given to others to keep them updated as to your itinerary.

Is there a work around that fixes this problem whilst we await an update?

Concerning an update:

1) Would it be possible to be able to select a range of dates to view and print other than only a full calendar month (e.g. the ability to view and print a week would be very useful)?;

and

2) Would it be possible for this ranged view not to be cut off by month ends and beginnings?

Thanks for the suggestions Rob. I'll see if we can get an update to fix the line wrap at least. The other items would be more complex, though I agree they are good suggestions.
