Outlook 2007 out of office

[louise]

In Outlook 2003, when you got back from holiday and went into Outlook, a
reminder would pop-up on the screen to ask you if you wanted to remove your
out-of-office. In Outlook 2007, a small message appears in the tray at the
bottom right-hand side of the screen but many people miss this meaning that
their out-of-office stays on for days until someone tells them about it. I
have read somewhere that you can set a timeframe for an out-of-office but I
cannot find settings to do this when setting one up. Can anyone tell me how
to set a timeframe or how to get a pop-up message as in Outlook 2003? Many
thanks in advance.
