Tip 575: Calendar Questions

Following up on yesterday’s calendar tip, here are couple of frequent calendar questions:

Older versions of Outlook compress the weekend days into one cell, spreading the week across 6 columns. To change the option for compressed weekends, right click on the calendar and choose Other settings. This puts the week into seven columns.
 
What if you want to show just the workweek days on the screen? Outlook 2007 has a week/work week selection to the right of the Day/Week/Month tabs when in week view. Or select the dates in the navigation calendar (use day view). Hold Ctrl to select non-contiguous dates.
