Changing Default Show As to Free

[Kelly]

In the 2003 version of Outlook for the New Appointment calendar object, I was
able to change the default Show As status to Free instead of Busy. Now in
the 2007 version, I can't seem to find where to change this at all. I've
looked in Tools > Options as well as Customize.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
Kelly

No, you weren't. That value has always defaulted to "Free" for any event
created in a view that does not use the time scale and to "Busy" for any view
that does use the time scale. All Outlooks are identical in that regard.
