Week Column Template

The Week Column template generates a calendar showing 7 days, each in a column, with all-day events at the top and timeslot rows below. Events having start/end times are placed within their associated timeslot cells. This template is similar to the 4 Day template style, except it shows a whole week instead of 4 days.

Template Settings

The Week Column template provides the following options when creating a calendar...

Start date	The start date can be typed into the box or selected using the drop-down arrow. This date will be the left-most column in the generated calendar. If you want Sunday to be the first day of the week, make sure to pick Sunday as the starting date. Otherwise, pick Monday or any other day you'd like to have shown in the first column.
Number of weeks	Multiple weeks can be generated. Each week will be placed on its own worksheet (Excel), page (Word), or slide (PowerPoint). You can select how many weeks to include in the output by clicking the drop-down arrow.
Timeslots	A timeslot range and interval can be specified. The output will only show times between the specified start and end values. Each row will correspond to the specified timeslot length, such as 30 minutes.
Max. columns/day	Each day in the generated calendar will have up to the specified number of sub-columns. These columns are used in cases where there are multiple events or tasks that occur in the same timeslot. In other words, if you set the maximum number of columns to 6, the generated calendar will be able to display up to 6 events or tasks occurring in the same time slot.
Max. all-day rows	All-day events and tasks will be shown in an all-day area of the generated calendar, which is usually above the timeslot rows. This value controls how many events or tasks can be shown in the all-day area. Each event or task will take up one row.
All-day text behavior	The text behavior of items shown in the all-day area. Options are Wrap text, Don't wrap text, and Shrink text to fit.
Item font size	Override the default font size associated with each calendar data source.
Time format	The time format. Supported formats are 12-hour (8:00 PM), 24-hour (20:00), Shortened (8pm), Military (2000), and Numeric (20.0). An example time is shown for each format in the drop-down list.
Show timed multiday items in all-day area	When checked, events or starts that have start and end times spanning multiple days will be shown in the all-day area instead of the timeslot columns.
Show start time	When checked, event or task start times will be shown. The ordering of times, title, and location values can be specified in the PrintableCal options.
Show end time	When checked, event or task end times will be shown.
Show time on separate line	When checked, event or task times will be shown on a separate line, above the title.
Show location	When checked, event or task locations will be shown.
Show location on separate line	When checked, event or task locations will be shown on a separate line, below the title and above the description.
Show description	When checked, descriptions will be included in event and task blocks (up to the available space).
Show blank line above description	When checked, a blank line will be shown above the description, to help differentiate the description from the title and location values.
Use bold text for item titles	When checked, item titles will be in bold text, to help differentiate from the location and description values.
