Signifigance: Calendar Work Week

[Johnny Kapikki]

I'm fairly new to Outlook. Using the 2007 version. Could someone
explain the signifigance of the 'Calendar Work Week'? I'd just like to
know what difference it makes in my Outlook usage whether I set my
Work Week to the hours I'm actually at work, or whether I set it to
span all of my waking hours.

In case you're not sure what I'm talking about, I'm talking about what
you will find in Tools > Options > Calendar Options (right up top).

Thanks.

Well, there's a few things.

There's a Work Week calendar view that should only show you the days you
work on, and every Day view will show your work hours as white vs grey for
off hours.

The end of your work day will also be used for, iirc, default follow-up time
on emails. So when it is set to 5, the default follow-up time is 4.

I'm sure there's more, it's a big program after all, I'd probably think around
Tasks.

Its probably simply a filter view of the Calendar so if you only need work
week you can set it as such

Setting your calendar options for the actual hours that you work will hopefully cause others who are trying to schedule you for meetings to see that you have left for the day or not yet arrived.
