Click on the printer icon in the upper left corner or use the keyboard Alt+P.<br /><br />With Firefox, from the Firefox menu at the upper left of the browser window and select Print. You'll see the Print Preview/Print options.<br /><br />I hope this helps. I don't have any other browsers to test, but they should be similar.Corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110007723754751966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-52953315859464289992013-04-21T12:02:44.155-04:002013-04-21T12:02:44.155-04:00I know you are security focused but I needed to ve...I know you are security focused but I needed to vent lolChugglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387292943196938130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-59888703864337432852013-04-21T11:59:40.262-04:002013-04-21T11:59:40.262-04:00I cant figure out any way to print my calendar or ...I cant figure out any way to print my calendar or agenda from my outlook.com calendar or to export it to a program that will let me print it. Am I missing something? Is there someway to print that I have missed? Did MS not think people would want to print copies of their calendars?

Thanks for the informative comment ...Hi, Corrine !<br /><br />Thanks for the informative comment !<br /><br />I agree about Gmail. I'm not a big fan either, but they <i>do</i> seem to 'get' preventative security better than other free providers and implement it much sooner. :-/<br /><br />One security-related advantage in Hotmail/Outlook was that, with the introduction of aliases, one could use the aliases for actual email activity and keep the main account name secret (to be used only for logins), so that any would-be hacker would have to know the username as well as guessing/forcing the password. Well, now, it seems, they're going to pull that rug out from under us and, taking a page from Yahoo (I'm no fan of them either) they may/will be allowing users to log in with an alias ! Grrrrrr....<br /><br />Anyway, as I, too, wait to see what the new calender looks like, when it gets to my own Outlook (test) account, I will continue to hope that one of these days we'll all see some improved security measures implemented so that we can all feel much more confident trusting Outlook with email, files, etc. :-)<br /><br />Thanks again !<br /><br />ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-18904851876316583252013-04-03T20:10:08.274-04:002013-04-03T20:10:08.274-04:00Hi, Scott.
I agree that it is disappointing that ...Hi, Scott.<br /><br />I agree that it is disappointing that more than 16 characters are still not allowed. This has been a bone of contention repeatedly communicated to Microsoft by MVPs.<br /><br />That said, although limited, it is certainly possible to have a very complex 16-character password. I've tested a variation of my password at multiple test sites. (No, I don't trust any of the test sites enough to use my exact password.)<br /><br />Consider also that Hotmail/Outlook.com is not a business account but is used for personal e-mail. Although banking and billing e-mail is certainly received in personal e-mail, to actually access the accounts, it is necessary to have the logon information (unless the person is so extremely naive that the same password is used everywhere).<br /><br />Even with two-factor authentication since December 2011, Yahoo didn't roll out HTTPS until January 2013. Even so, in February 2013, Yahoo plugged a hole that allowed hijacking of email accounts. The hackers were using a piece of JavaScript code that was exploiting a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Yahoo Developer Network Blog site, resulting in stealing visitors' Yahoo session cookies. <br /><br />Although G-mail has 2-factor available, it is rather awkward and, let's just say that the G-mail format is not my favorite.<br /><br />I'm not aware of any other e-mail programs that have two-factor authentication, particularly for webmail users.Corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110007723754751966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-69048208625998931932013-04-03T13:27:57.051-04:002013-04-03T13:27:57.051-04:00I wouldn't mind trying Hotmail/Outlook again, ...I wouldn't mind trying Hotmail/Outlook again, if it weren't for their less than reassuring security: 16-character password (!! .... some people say 16 should be the <i>minimum</i>) and lack of 2FA (which, granted, many providers still lack). And their customer support doesn't have the greatest reputation either.<br /><br />I'm not sure if the bells and whistles (like this long-awaited calendar release) are enough to woo me back.<br /><br />Are Hotmail/Outlook users <i>really</i> unconcerned about (what appears to me to be) a lack of sufficient proactive security measures in this day and age ?<br /><br />ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
