As a school administrator, our day is set to 40 minute periods. If Outlook
Calendar could be set to 20/40 minute appointments or even to a specific
school timetable, it would be the perfect companion for teachers to manage
meetings, appointments, emails, even lessons based on the school day.

You can manually set your appointments to any time you wish.

What I'd like to actually see (I needed to be clearer) is the time column
(left) and defaults be set to your own times - not in half hour, 5min etc
blocks, we already set our own times maually - eg if I have an appointment at
12.10 it will default to 40 mins rather than 30 mins (or whatever you set.

In that case, the answer is that it is not possible. Few people have
appointment intervals of 40 minutes, which is why Outlook allows you to set
your non-standard appointment interval manually.

Actually Public schools all over the country would utilize this feature. (we
are on 44 minutes periods). All Microsoft would need to do in the preferneces
section would be to put a start work day dialog in (our school day begins at
9:03) and then interval to proceed on (44 minutes for us) So that the
calendar would then match my tecahing schedule and could be used as a lesson
planner without having to set each period manually witha a start and end
time. We could then simply double click and go.
