I use iCal 1.5.5 (Panther) - is it possible to export everything in a certain calendar to a Word or Excel document?

I travel a lot and keep all my travel related entries in a "travel" calendar. My tax preparer would like a listing of all my travel entires and I can't find a way to do this.

Any ideas?

Not certain about Word or Excel, but you could use the print function to make a PDF file (or just print it, of course). You can select view and which calendar(s) to include or not in the output (this is from iCal 2, but I did the same, or something very similar, when I had 1.x, too):

I may need to bite the bullet and just upgrade to Tiger - the printing functions for 1.5.5 are very limited. I keep trying to make Panther do things it won't, only to find they are available in Tiger. Call me the last of the great cheap skates.

It is possible to print only certain Calendars in iCal 1.5.x, too. It's just a bit less elegant: iCal 1.5.3 Help - Printing your calendars and To Do lists

I used it to print schedules for different subjects at University (had one Calendar for each different class I took).

Well - that is helpful. Still not what I'm after, which is a linear print out of the events, one line after another.

I think this can be done in Tiger - so Mr Jobs gets a few more of my dollars.

Better he than Bill Gates.
