Can you make Outlook 2007 calendar look like Outlook 2003
I REALLY HATE the now Outlook 2007 calendar layout. The shaded graphics
might look nice in an advertisement, but they are nothing but a square inch hog for real life use. You can't see a full week in one window without scrolling and to see more than a few words of an appointment you need to mouse over it. The Outlook 2003 layout was nearly perfect. It there any way to get rid of the annoying graphical boxes and get a layout similar to 2003? Again, I REALLLLLLLY HATE this new layout. The Calendar display is useless. -- Jim Hansen |

Can you make Outlook 2007 calendar look like Outlook 2003
When you display a WEEK on Outlook 2003 there are only TWO columns instead of
seven so you can see the majority of the text without expanding the appointment. Saturday and Sunday each take up one HALF box so there are three days in one column and four in the other. The layouts are COMPLETELY different. 2007 has 7 columns wide so the space available for displaying the appointment is 60% smaller than with 2003. If you have used Outlook 2003 or 2000 or XP and used the week view, this should be very clear to you. The entire week fits very nicely in one screen with no scrolling. The exception is when you have a day with lots of appointments. Then that day would need to be scrolled. So let's make sure we are comparing the same. I am talking about the comparison of the Week View in Outlook 2007 compared to that in 2000, 2003 or XP. -- Jim Hansen "Diane Poremsky" wrote: I'm not sure what you mean by graphical boxes and "similar layout" to 2003 as the calendars are very similar.

Outlook 2003 had the "Work Week" view and that's the columnar view you're describing. Outlook 2007 did away with that, I believe, and has only the two column seven-day Week view, which matches Outlook 2003's seven-day Week view. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

The 2 column week view is not available in Outlook 2007, just a column view
for work week and calendar week. Unfortunately there are no plans to bring it back. The closest you can get to it is using the month view and selecting 2 weeks in the navigation calendar. If you are using a retail version of outlook and installed it within the last 90 days, you can open a free support incident so that Microsoft knows users want it back. Info on the free support: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vista_supoffnew To find the contact information for the application use the wizard - http://support.microsoft.com/gp/assistsupport It's very important that anyone who misses the Week view contacts Microsoft - it’s the only way it will come back unless an enterprising developer releases a utility that can reproduce the view. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Jim Hansen" wrote in message ...

not the planner style view that was in all previous version with 2 columns
and Sat/Sun sharing the last cell in the second column. Best you can do is 2 weeks in the month view - not the same, but it gives you appointments without the time grid, which is why people used the missing week view. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...

Can you make Outlook 2007 calendar look like Outlook 2003
"An enterprising developer" already has! :-)
Jim, I recently posted a free add-in, More Productive Tools for Outlook, that includes (along with providing a bunch of other features) an Outlook-compatible Calendar window; which has the good old Outlook 2003 Week view as one of its available views. The add-in is available at www.moreproductivenow.com. Phil Seeman, More Productive Now! "Diane Poremsky" wrote in message ...
