Title: Print appointment with attendee status
Description: A modification of Sue's solution in 24 Hours, 1999. This version does not use a template in order to keep deployment simpler. You need to add a reference to Word in your Outlook project. This generates an address book access warning.

	Sue Mosher 15-Nov-2002 11:47 Great sample, John, especially for people who want to know more about pushing text into Word. Another variation would be to insert a table and put the data into table cells, so that it all lines up very neatly.
	John 21-Jan-2003 02:50 It prompts "Compile error: User-defined type not defined" message. It is stopped at "Dim objWord As Word.Application" line. Can you teach me how to run this macro? I am using Office XP.
	Sue Mosher 04-Mar-2003 21:32 That error would usually indicate that you haven't added a reference to the Microsoft Word library to your project. If this is VBA, use Tools \| References.
	Nancy 28-Apr-2003 22:31 I wrote a similar macro but copied the meeting info and all attendee info to the clipboard so the organizer can put it anywhere. Very useful when the person asking for the info isnt in the same physical area and you want to share via email
	Sue Mosher 07-May-2003 17:53 Nice variation, Nancy! Would you might posting it here?
	Suzie 23-Apr-2005 19:45 I'm not getting an error message, (although I did get the access warning) but nothing prints. The debug highlights the very first line. Do I need to put something above "Sub PrintAapptAttendee()" ? Thanks.
	Suzie 23-Apr-2005 19:58 I spoke too soon. For whatever reason, it didn't send to the printer, bit it did put the info into Word. I'm more than happy to just have to click on Print. Thanks so much for this code.

	Todd 22-Mar-2006 03:40 This code was fantastic, saved me a TON of time on extracting responses to a meeting request (over 150 responses). I really needed the data in Excel, but it was simple enough to copy/paste. Great job and THANK YOU!
	Eric 25-Sep-2006 13:20 How can we get the Item Organizer of an appointment from inside of a form?
