How to display the names of the days in Outlook
In the 1 and 5 day Calendar view, all I see is the month and date (i.e. May
15). How can i get it to show the day as well (i.e. Sunday, May 15). |

In my Outlook (2003), the names of the weekdays all show up at the top, in every view. Do you perhaps have WindowBlinds running? I have found that WindowBlinds tends to blank out column titles in third-party apps. To stop WindowBlinds from blanking out column titles in Outlook, set an exception which causes WindowBlinds to not completely skin the Outlook executable, "Programs Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\outlook.exe". If you have Outook XP, change "Office11" to "Office10" I also haven't found a setting in Outlook options or Views which controls whether the weekday names show up or don't. Maybe someone else knows. Also, did you know that you can display a view like in a normal calendar, without the weekend days compressed? To do this, 1) Open Calendar to a view, any view(Day, Week, Month) 2) Click on "View" in Main Menu 3) Click on "Arrange by..." 4) Click on "Current View" 5) Click on "Customise Current View..." 6) Click on "Other Settings..." button 7) Uncheck "Compress Weekend Days" 8) "Ok" out. -- Donald L McDaniel Please reply to the original thread, so that the thread may be kept intact. ============================== |

Hi, I had the same problem and just figured it out!! No need to
reinstall, just a simple 2 min fix. 1) In Control Panel, open Regional and Language Options 2) On the Regional Options Tab click Customise button 3) Click the date tab 4) At the bottom of the screen, where it says Long Date Format, enter the following: dddd MM yyyy 5) Click Apply/ok and return to windows This will change how MS programs represent long date formats. You can try other combinations, such as, for the date 24 May 2005 dd = 24 ddd = Tue dddd = Tuesday MM = 05 MMMM = May yy = 05 yyyy = 2005 Best of luck. :P |
