Ok, I have 5 very busy people in my family and I try to keep everyone’s schedules in one place…my outlook calendar so I can sync it to my blackberry. The problem is, when I got to print a month at a time 1/2 of our schedule is cut off. Is there a way to make the boxes larger or add a new print style? Or will I have to print a weekly one to get the details, and a separate monthly one to get an overall look at the month?

I recently messed up my Calendar, and it no longer displays the Toolbar that allowed me to select a 1-day/5-day/7-day view. All it displays is a list of appointments for the day. I really prefer seeing the calendar as a 5-day work week. How can I restore this option?

I’m trying to find how I changed my setting in my calendar view to say 2009 07 when they used to say “july 2009″.

How can I change this back?

Tools –> Options –> Advanced, then click on the Browse button next to ‘Startup in this folder’ and choose Calendar.

Somehow I changed my outlook default settings so that when I open the program I am no longer starting at the calendar. I have to click several options before I can get there. How do I set the preferences to I start out at the calendar?

Angus – thank you for helping out. I love the Internet to help solve little frustrating things like this. Appreciate the reply.

I also just got an iPhone and used Internet blogs to answer many questions there too.

Have a great week (starting on Monday).

Go to the Tools menu, choose Options, select the Preferences tab, click on Calendar options, and set First day of week. You can choose any day you like.

(And yes Tom, lots of people use Mon-Sun — indeed, I can’t think of a good _organisational_ reason to use a Sunday start. But it’s precisely because opinions differ that you can change it.)

I want to show Sun-Sat view on my outlook calendar. It changed recently to Mon-Sun. Not what I want to see (does anyone use this format?).

How can I get it back to Sun-Sat?

Thank you. Tom

I want to be able to have my calendar always appear in the month view, not the day, so that i can see my month whenever i turn Outlook on, and also if i look ahead months, I want to see them as well rather than the daily view it currently gives me, how do i set that up?
