MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / October 2007Outlook 2007 (Beta) Weekly Calendar
What happened to the WEEKLY CALENDAR from OL2003??? Their are 5-7 day calendars, but no longer can you view a weekly block-style calendar (MTW on the left side & TFSS on the right side... Also, printed view of weekly calendar has MWF & Sun in the left column, and TThSat & Empty Box in right column. At least they have expanded the Sat/Sun blocks, but went across instead of up and down... Gone - this is the new layout.

However to a user who goes back to Ofice 95 and MS Mail, it makes a huge difference... The same goes for the 5 & 7-day calendars... As a fail-safe "paper backup" I use the printed version of the WEEKLY calendar that virtually matches the screen version... Now the printed version has been modified and the screen version has been removed completely??? As a COMPUTER SCIENCE Major in College, I don't buy into the "wasn't workable with the overlay" answer from below... Put it back the way it was!

Not going to happen - Outlook is the only PIM that Microsoft programs that had the 7 day view in 2 columns. Entourage, Windows Mail, Works Calendar, all have the columnar display. Besides not being compatible with the overlay of different calendars, it was just a sore thumb red-headed stepchild. In other words, it will not change.

So what calendar view do you use if you have several events on the same day that all start at about the same time??? This red-headed stepchild version is the only one that actually displays all the information, instead of truncating it just to fit the space the programmers set aside... To be honest, I have never used anything else for scheduling multiple daily events... And having multimple calendars is not an option...

I seldom have events that start at the same time. I either decline the conflicting appointments or set them as tentative and clean it up the day before the appointments.

SignatureBrian Tillman I think Chris has some valid points. I personally never liked the block style calender but prefer the new style for 7 day view. But, perhaps this should be looked at as a request rather than an opportunity to lambast someone for not 'changing with the times...' Also, with all due respect, I don't buy that Milly actually has the authority to say: 'not going to happen...' -ck Then try this - "Microsoft has informed the beta testers that the look of Outlook's calendar will not revert to the older style." Better? SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

THANKS! I am too busy doing actual work to waste time in meetings. I decline a lot of them where I am essentially a "resource" - as in, "Ask Milly, she worked on this 5 years ago!" Pffft!!!

THANKS! > What happened to the WEEKLY CALENDAR from OL2003??? Microsoft has taken a wonderful product and made it virtually useless for an office setting. As an administrative assistant, I have to keep track of multiple simultaneous meetings. My day often starts at 6 a.m. and goes until nearly midnight. I need to see my day at a glance. A little arrow at the bottom of the screen that indicates more appointments off the screen is a pathetic substitute. Please put it back! Reverting to Office 2003 is not an option for our office.
