Get Out of Office Reply reminder to turn it off when back in offic

[Out of Office reminder to turn off]

We recently transitioned to Microsoft 2007. When I set my Out of Office Reply
to on, and then come back to the office and log back into Outlook, I no
longer get a reminder if I want to turn the Out of Office Assistant off
before I get started. How to I get that reminder to pop up again?

2007 doesn't have a dialog box popup, but instead uses a toast popping up
from the systray. Probably the primary reason for the change is the fact
that 2007 allows you to put a time frame on your OOF making it less
important to be reminded since, theoretically, you should have already told
OOF to turn off when you were scheduled to come back into the office.

That's a term I hadn't heard before. Is this any different from a flyout?

I have the same dialogue box as before when I set my OOA, it does not allow
me to put dates and times in.

Really? I didn't think that depended upon version of Exchange, but reading

something.

I do believe that the systray icon will change when oof is on, but I can't
verify that currently.
