Default Multiple Calendar

If you need to restore backups then something is screwy with your
installation.

This is a video of what should happen when you switch between folder list
and calendar view. Note that the calendar view 'sticks' when you switch back
to Folder list until you select a folder to display - you can't select
multiple folders in the folder list though, which is why you need to switch
to the calendar module to select multiple calendars. Either use Crtl+2 and
Ctrl+6 or the buttons in the Navigation pane to switch back and forth.

I need to restore a backup, because when I do what you told to see 2
calendars side by side, and not within each other, the only way to get the
whole folder list back is to either retore the backup, or to crash Outlook
before it can save the new setting(which is only seconds), otherwise the
only thing that I can see is just the calendars, and I can not switch to
any other folder/view, not even the e-mail

If you are an MVP for Microsoft, you could suggest them a better way to
view multiple calendar, a way that does not require an engieering degree
to use the program, I just a normal user with no degrees. I thought that
Outlook 2007 would be easier to use than the previous version, but it
turns out, that if you want to use the new "easier" feature, it's even
less user friendly than before

Why do you need to restore a backup to see two calendars side by side?
Hit Ctrl+2, view the calendars then switch back to the folder list using
Ctrl+6.

you can't see two calendars side by side using the folder list because
there is not a way to select and deselect calendars in that view.

it was a promo demo on the Microsoft web site, I do not remember where
it was, butit was showing how the new Office 2007 was working and was
new

But why isn't it possible to have it that way, it's way more useful,
than having to restore a backup of the settings every time that I want
to see 2 calendar within each other

when the calendars are showing side by side, click the arrow in the
calendar title tab to overlay them.

do you have a url for the demo so we can see what they are doing?
AFAIK, there is no way to have the entire folder list on the left and
multiple calendars on the right. you need to switch between the panes
to see the other folder types.

You're wrong there, because when I click on the Calendar, at lease the
way that Outlook 2007 start, I can still see the whole list of folder,
so I can switch to another folder easyly, but the way that you told me
before, the only thing that I see is only the calendars, and whe I
click more than one they just appear side by side

What I saw on the demo, was the another calendar appearing within the
main calendar, and the left side still showing all the folders, the
way it should be, toherwise I'm stuck using Outlook for calendar only.

Ctrl+1 to see only the mail folders or Ctrl+6 to switch back to the
folder list - you can't use the contents of mail folders and the
calendar at the same time unless you open multiple outlook windows.

If I use CTRL+2, the way that you just told me, I lose all of my
folder, and I need those folder to be available for other work, and
I use the standard view in Calendar, I didn't even know that there
were any other (the one that I'm in when calendar are opening is
showing a month, which is the way a calendar should be).

"Diane Poremsky" wrote in message

Outlook 2007 correct? Are you using a table view or the
Day/Week/month view? Oh... you are in folder list - go to the
calendar module - either Ctrl+2 or click on the calendar button at
the bottom of the navigation pane. Now you can show multiple
calendars and overlay them.

Sorry, but I do not have any of what you are telling about, the
only thing that I have is a "+" sign beside the Calendar, which is
my main calendar, and if I expand the "+" to "-", I see the other
calendars that I have created to unclutter the main calendar

When I click on one of them I see only that one, I know it's
possible to have the appointement from the other calendar to be
showing in the main (I saw that on a demo), but I can not get it
to work over here

the folder list's navigation calendar count is controlled by the
available space. If you are showing the view selector, turn it
off (look on Views menu). you can also pull the divider inward 1
or more calendar widths.

When I click on the calendar on the left side navigation pane
(folder list), I can only see one calendar at the time, and even
going through the menus I can not find anything that will let me
do this

Hi,

All you have to do is go under My calendars and tick the
calendars you want
visible. You can then choose to overlay them too and that way
you will be
able to have a visual idea of what your day looks like...once
you can see all
the apt, meetings, events and tasks you have.

To overlay a calendar, open it and then click on the arrow next
to the
calendar name. It will then overlay with the other calendar.

Good luck,
