Calendar

In Outlook 2007, when I look at other people's schedules (Plan a Meeting or
Scheduling Assistant), it now shows all 24 hours a day. Since I seldom
schedule meetings at 3 AM, I'd like the default to be my work hours but see
no setting for this. Can it be changed?

[Yes, this is my third posting about defaults in Outlook! Maybe the defaults
should be settable from where the option is used.]

Outlook's timed views always show all 24 hours. You can't configure them to
show only working hours.

I'll end this with a comment about the program. Settings for something used
very frequently, affecting how we work, should have defaults that can be set.
The old Outlook displayed work hours-- I don't know if it was a default or
the only way it worked. But the new way is hard to use since each day is now
much wider than before. This would be useful for working with people in India,
but not for people in adjacent time zones. So I have to change the display
each time I use it. In other words, the default is wrong for me. (Just in
case you relay comments to Microsoft.)

Every Outlook version I've used, from Outlook 97 to Outlook 2010, has shown
all 24 hours in the views with time scales, but colored the working hours
differently than the non-working hours. I don't recall that ever changing.

That's funny because I don't remember ever seeing the nighttime hours on the
scheduler. Maybe it's set up on installation?

My apologies. I missed the fact that you were on the Scheduling tab of a
meeting request. As you say, on that tab, only your working hours are shown
and they're not colored any differently for Outlook 2003. I'll look at
Outlook 2007 when I get home.

I looked at Outlook 2010 and below the list of attendees on the let side of
the meeting request window is an Options button. Clicking that allowed me
to specify that Outlook should show only my working hours. I'll look at
Outlook 2007 as soon as I can.

Since both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2010 have the Options button on the
Scheduling tab, I'm confident, without even looking, that Outlook 2007 has the
same mechanism.

It does.

I know about that button. What I want to do is set "working hours only" as a
default, instead of having to set this each time I use the scheduler. I use
it frequently just to see people's schedules on a given day.

Set it in Tools, Options, Preferences, Calendar Options, Calendar Work

scheduling tab

I had to set it exacly once and Outlook remembered.

If Show working hours is selected it does.
