ACT offers four main ways to view your schedule: the daily, weekly and monthly calendars, and the task list. You can filter the type of activities you want to see on the calendars and the task list. I use my calendars to view my meetings and my task list to view just my phone calls. I never use ACT’s to-dos because I feel that if it’s worth doing then I schedule a meeting to get it done. I often schedule meetings with myself to complete projects.
Durkin Computing offers a variety of ACT add-ons that makes ACT work better. I currently use Task List Plus, Contact List Plus and Home Page Plus. I have two monitors on my desk (side by side) and I love using Task List Plus on one screen and ACT on the other as I’m making my scheduled phone calls.
Has anyone had a problem getting the calendars to print ? I am not sure what is causing it but the activities don’t print, the mini calendars at the top are all in odd fonts and sizes, and they print on multiple pages. It happens on any of the calendar formats. Someone mentioned I might have an incorrect “windows default font” set but I’ve done everything I can to be sure it is set in a standard way. Help !!!
Thanks

In this day and age when someone says they want to print something in ACT I’m always curious why?
If you use a device such as a BlackBerry or a Treo you can synchronize your schedule between ACT and those devices; therefore, you don’t have to print out anything. You can even have the devices synchronize wirelessly.
If ACT is on one computer and you are elsewhere, you can login to your computer remotely via a tool such as GoToMyPC and work from anywhere.
If you enter notes or comments on the paper, with the intent to eventually put it back into ACT, this creates a time consuming event that could be done if you just worked directly in ACT in one form or another.
