SYMPTOM
=======
 
In Microsoft Project, changing the width of the date box in the Calendar
View does not affect the way it appears in print preview or on the
printout.
 
WORKAROUND
===========
 
To display an entire task name in the Calendar View when you view it in
print preview or when you print it, do either of the following:
 
 - From the Format menu, choose Bar Styles, and select the Bar Rounding and
   Wrap Text In Bars options (you must be in the Calendar view to get these
   options).
 
   -or-
 
1. From the Format menu, choose Text Styles.
 
2. Select the All option, or, if you want to change only the size of the
   bar text in the Calendar, select the Marked Task option .
 
3. In the Size box, enter a smaller point size for the font.
 
4. To mark the tasks, add the Marked field to the currently applied table
   in the Gantt view and type "Yes" (without the quotation marks) in the
   Marked field.
 
STATUS
======
 
This behavior is by design to ensure that the entire calendar will always
fit on one page.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
When you view the Calendar View in print preview or when you print it,
Microsoft Project will always use the default date box width regardless of
any changes you make to it in the Calendar View.
 
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
 
1. From the Gantt chart, enter a task name with 25 characters.
 
2. From the View menu, choose Calendar.
 
3. To see the entire task name, increase the width of the date box by
   dragging its right border to the right.
 
4. Choose Print Preview.
 
The task name is truncated because the default box width is displayed.
