How do I get calendar to show appts. only?

[claudiak]

In my old version of Office 2000, the Outlook calendar (weekly view) shows
appts. only, instead of every hour of the day + appts. blocked out. How do I
get the new version to show appts. only?

Hi,
I used to use Office Outlook 2000 and now use Office Outlook 2007. In the
old version I would see a column for each day of the week (Mon. to Sun.) and
then appt. times (i.e., 10:00 dentist, 1:00 conference call, etc.).

The new version now shows a column for each day of the week (Mon. to Sun.),
but now shows every hour of the day (6:00, 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, etc.)
with a long box next to it to show the duration of each appt. So now instead
of seeing 3 or 4 appts. for the day, I see boxes next to the hours containing
the appts.

The reason I don't like it is because now I can't see the whole day on one
page, it now scrolls over to two pages because some appts. span the whole
day, a.m. & p.m. I would prefer to just see the line item with the appt.
time instead of a box.

Thanks for your help!

I think you don't like seeing the sapce between start and end time blocked
out of the Calendar. If that's the case, set the start and end time to be
the same.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually the part I don't like seeing is all the
hours of the day that have no appts. I also don't like seeing the blocks but
I do need to use the end times. In 2000 there was a way to change the format
from "hourly blocks" to "line item appts.", I just can't remember, or find,
how to make that format change in 2007. Any other ideas? Thanks again...

Turn on the Advanced Toolbar and use the Current View window to have a look
at the various Views available to you. Maybe you used the 7 day view and
it's gone in 2007.
