I am working on a project and want to track my activities through
Journal in Outlook. I have set up a separate Folder for the project
for this purpose.  I know how to input activities via Journal direct
or by associating the activity with a Contact.  I would like to print
out a summary of all the activities I have completed in order to
prepare an account or a report for the project committee e.g. all
phone calls, emails, meetings etc  (I can print of one page for each
activity but this is not helpful).

Hi kah!

If you go to the Journal view, select the View Menu>Current View>By
Type, then hold down CTRL and click on each of the headings (ie: Entry
Type: Letter) in turn, then go to File>Print..., you can get somewhat
more of a summary than it seems you are getting now. Unfortunately,
there is no way to summarize the data you have any more than this
other than you manually re-entering it into some other program (Excel)
for analysis.

You may want to try playing with the Views in the View Menu>Current
View -- Entry List may be what you're looking for - if not, you can
create your own custom view that is very powerful, but also very
time-consuming. The decision on  how much to tradeoff of that is
yours. :)

If you'd like to add anything to this question, please feel free to
open a clarification request.

Sincerely,

Was not the answer that we were after but pointed us in the right
direction, so with some additional research we have most of what we
were after.
