5-day view with 7 days as default

[Guest]

I like the 5-day view (vertical alignment), but I like to see 7 days. I can
accomplish this by selecting in the navigation pane a 7-day period and then
on the toolbar selecting the 5-day view. But because the scroll turns into a
week scroll (as opposed to 7-day, where the scroll takes you through the
weeks up and down), I have to go to the navigation pane to select any other
week that I'd like to view in that 5-day view. The problem is that as soon
as I select in the navigation pane the other week I want to view, it defaults
to the 7-day (two columns of boxes for each day). Is there any way for the
calendar to remember that if I am in 5-day view, when I select another week
from naigation, it should stay in 5-day view until I go and select the 7-day
on the toolbar, should I want it? Alternatively, is there a way to go to
another week while within the 5-day view?

Try this, under Outlook Tools->options->calendar options->set your work week
to all 7 days. Then, when you use the 5 day (work week) view, you see all
7. Use the arrow keys to move between weeks.

thanks. I was seeing the 7 days already (they were marked), but the problem
was that I didn't know how to scroll around without it defaulting back to
7-day. Sounds like it's hard programmed to take the 7-day format when you
use the navigation pane of if you highlight in the navigation pane more than
6 days (with a six day drag-highlight producing the workweek view).

Thanks for the tip on how to get around in there. that'll do me fine.
