Outlook 03- changing the calendar view to start with the current w

[danr1707]

How do I change the monthly calendar view to start with the current week and
show the 5 weeks in the future? The default monthly calendar always starts at
the beginning of the month. Towards the end of the month it gets anoying as
most of the calendar is in the past.

Thanks,

Dan

The month view will always start with the first week of the month at the
top. That is the purpose of a monthly view. It is not called "current week
with next 4 weeks" view.

You cannot change that view.

Thanks, for this info. It would be nice to be able to save it but, it is
better than nothing.

Milly's response was just insulting. I know what a month is.

In a month like this when the 1st is a Sunday the normal month view does not
show the whole month. The 30th does show up until that week in the default
month. That is why I wanted to see more of the future and less of the past.

See http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/2wk_cal/2wk_cal.htm for a way to do
this.

It is not an insulting answer, it is the definition that Microsoft uses for
a Month view. The view you want is not a month view, it is a current week +
X additional weeks. That is very different.

The month view Microsoft uses is like your desktop planner - mine is like a
blotter. The full month displays and you pick the week you want to see
visually. Just because the calendar is on a computer does not change the
rules of the game.

If you intend to keep using news groups for answers, I suggest you stop
taking things personally. I don't know you well enough to insult you, and,
from your response, I am sure that I do not want to.

Long months don't do well in older versions of outlook - and compressed
weekends usually make it worse, although the problem with Nov is that it
starts on Sat and ends on Sunday

It is not like a desktop planner, and the compter did change the rules. It
does not display the full month. That is my point.

Look at November. I want to be able to see the whole month. I thought that
be seeing from the current date forward that would fix it.

I was looking to be able to "change the month view to customizabel dates"
thats all.

Dianne's response was a good work around. Your's was quick and not helpful.

My month view in Outlook 2007 for November starts with October 26 and ends
with December 6. I can certainly see the entire month with every day
visible.

It is.

 

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

Outlook 2007 is very different - beginning with the number of weeks in the
month view adjusts with the month, unlike earlier versions where it always
shows 5 weeks, long months (and occasionally Feb) be damned.
