Months have changed - upper left corner

[mcadwell]

It used to be that I only had one month showing in the upper left corner of
my calendar. All of a sudden now three are showing, going vertically down the
pane. How do I get it to go back to the way it was?

I have Outlook 2003, no other changes have been done to the computer and
rebooting didn't fix it.

Sounds like you make have collapsed the Navigator Pane view buttons. Click on
and drag upward the top edge of the button pane.

"may have", not "make have".

Thank you for the reply but this didn't help. My left panel is, going
vertically from top to bottom, the navigation calendar months, My Calendars,
Other Calendars, with the Navigator Pane View Buttons at the very bottom.

Pulling up the Navigator Pane View buttons didn't do anything but cover up
more of the Other Calendars section.

Click View. Is Taskpad checked or unchecked? If checked, uncheck it. What
do you see?

 

[mcadwell]

Taskpad is unchecked - there isn't a calendar or task viewing pane on the
right side.

After asking more coworkers about this issue (as I cannot find anything on
it when searching online) I have found that many of them have different
"settings" for their calendars in the navigation pane - without having to
pull the divider to the right.

One has one calendar showing in the top left. One has three calendars going
down vertically. One has two vertically. Now all of us are wondering how to
change this.

Are you all using the same version of Outlook and all using the exact same
view?

 

[mcadwell]

We looked - we have the same version of Outlook and the same view.
I am stumped.

Sounds like View, "To Do Bar", Options, Date navigator are set to
"unchecked", 3 and 2 respectively.

 

[mcadwell]

Thank you Bob, but I don't see the "To Do Bar" anywhere under View. I am
running Outlook 2003...

Right-click the TaskPad's header line, choose Customize Current View, click
Other Settings, and check the box labeled "Show 'new item' row".

 

[mcadwell]

Brian, I tried "Right-click the TaskPad's header line, choose Customize
Current View, click Other Settings, and check the box labeled "Show 'new
item' row"
and nothing changed at all.

Any other suggestions please?

Other Settings, and check the box labeled "Show 'new item' row".

Brian, I tried "Right-click the TaskPad's header line, choose Customize

and nothing changed at all.

Was that option already selected?

 

[mcadwell]

It wasn't. So I selected it, nothing seemed to have changed when I looked,
then I un-selected it.

Unchecking definitely will suppress the New Task line. It must be checked.

Can you post a screen show to

and post the URL here?

 

[mcadwell]

Oh, now I see what you are talking about.

As I don't use TaskPad I wasn't familiar enough to know what I should have
been looking for. I didn't even know TaskPad existed until I had this
thumbnail calendar problem and was looking for the solution to that online.

I have checkmarked Show "New Item" Row and re-closed TaskPad.

I can post screen shots but it won't be any different than what is normally
in the navigation pane - thumbnail calendars on top, then My Calendars, Other
Calendars, the buttons at the bottom (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes,
Folder List, Shortcuts, and Configure Buttons).

Did you right click on the row of field names in the taskpad and choose
customize, then other settings?

(please include the entire thread in the replies so everyone knows what was
suggested and what you tried)

I did what I was asked to do: "Right-click the TaskPad's header line, choose
Customize
Current View, click Other Settings, and check the box labeled "Show 'new

As I am not familiar with TaskPad I don't know what "row of field names" is.

Ok, when I log into another computer I get the normal one thumbnail calendar.
So am assuming my outlook profile, or user profile on my computer needs to be
rebuilt.

No! That is highly unlikely to fix it. A new profile will, but that can
introduce other problems. You'e better off learning how to find the menus
and fix it.

http://www.xsolive.com/Outlook Screen shots/todooptions.png - this has
two screenshots - one for the tasks, one for to-do options. I added the blue
dots, red and green circles to the screenshot to highlight where you should
be right clicking (blue dot in red circle) and the command you need once the
menu is open.
