MS Project Calendar view truncates text in tasks

I'm trying to create a calendar view that shows a list of tasks.  My problem is the text in the task names is truncated.  My company really needs  this view and currently the calendar view in MS Project is not displaying what they want.  They are creating calendar views manually by hand.  I would really like to get this resolved to a point where they can actually use the calendar view generated out of MS Project.
Would appreciate assistance with this, thanks

David,

I'm guessing the issue is long task names in relatively short duration tasks?  Using Bar styles and "wrap text" I was able to get below:

That being said - there are limitations about what can be done in the Calendar view.  Tell us more about your situation (perhaps a screen shot?), what version and what patch level you are using and we'll try to be more helpful.

Hi - thanks for your response.  I'm still having issues with the calendar view.  I went into bar styles, set to wrap text, but the task names are still being truncated in print view and on the printed hard copy.

Ah, so it's not a view problem but a print problem?  What version of Project- I'm guessing 2016?  How long are the task (duration?).  There are limitations to the calendar view.  If you take a screen shot (which shows correctly) is that a workable solution?
