Month display in Microsoft Outlook 2003's Calendar

[Nathan Sokalski]

When using Microsoft Outlook 2003's Calendar in Month view, Saturday and
Sunday are combined as one square (yes, they do have the date numbers and a
line between them). This may be convenient for people using Outlook only for
business purposes, but if someone were to have a job that involved weekends,
or was not using Outlook for business purposes at all (which is my case),
this could be extremely annoying. I would like to know if there is a way to
display the Month view as the standard Sunday on the left and Saturday on
the right, with Monday through Friday in between. I want all days of the
week to be treated equally (Outlook has a view called Work Week, so why is
the weekend being ignored here?). If there is a way to do this, I would like
to know. Otherwise, I would like to see it in the next version (OK, I admit
I haven't tried Office 2008 yet, but something tells me this isn't one of
the differences). Thanks.

Right click in an empty area of the Outlook calendar, select Other Settings, and uncheck the box to "Compress Weekend Days" - been there since Outlook 97.
