Mac Tips Daily! #150 - iCal Printing

Do you use iCal, but don't always have a portable Mac to carry with you? iCal has some great features, and one of my favorites is the printing abilities. You can print out to-do lists, monthly, weekly, and daily calendars. I find these very helpful, especially the to-do lists. You can customize them to your liking, and can be a valuable resource if you depend on iCal, but don't always have it with you. Here's how to do it: Open iCal Next, choose go to 'File->Print' When the dialog box appears, notice all of the customizable features. The 'view' area lets you choose your printable view. For example, if you don't want a to-do list, choose a 'month' view, or one of the other available options. You can change the date range, select the calendars you want printed, set a few extra 'options', and even 'zoom' in or out to make it more readable while you are assembling your calendar. Play around with the options, until you get the look and feel that will be the most usable for you. When you are done, choose 'Continue', and the print dialog will come up. Select your printer, and 'Print'. Now you have a great portable calendar to take with you.
