Change weekly view to display vertically, not horizontally

I have currently upgraded to Office 2007 and am having a problem with the
work week view on my calendar. In Outlook 2003, my work week view displayed
the days vertically, so that I could see all of my appointments for the
week/weekend at once. In 2007, the display goes across the screen vertically
and my appointments are condensed so i have to roll my mouse over the
appointment to see what it is. Also, my screen only shows 8am to about 2pm
before I have to use my scroll bar to scroll down to see appointments after
that. Basically, I'm unable to view all of my appointments on one screen
like I could in 2003. Any ideas how to change the format to display closer
to that in Office 2003? Thank you.

Will a future update or patch from Microsoft give the user a choice as to
which view is better, the one from Outlook 2002 or the one from 2007? And if
not, can I re-install Outlook 2002 and go back to the better weekly view?
The view in 2007 is not user friendly.

Unlikely.

This applies to OL 2007 as well:

It is unlikely to be changed in Outlook 2007 but they are considering
something along the lines of this view, for inclusion in future versions:
http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/2wk_cal/2wk_cal.htm


if you choose to downgrade it will work best if you revert the entire office
suite, not just outlook. You should also note that outlook 2002 won't work
properly on vista. If it's a typo and you would be downgrading to Outlook
2003, never mind. Outlook 2003 works fine on vista and you won't have to
convert the pst either (per Brian's post). It's still recommended that you
use the same version of office as outlook for the best experience - and note
that you do need the same version of outlook and word if you choose to use
word as the editor.
