can i set to see tasks in monthly calendar view?
susan said:Success! Between what you mentioned here (dragging from the right)
and what was listed in another forum (dragging from the right after
the double-arrow cursor appears), I figured out that the Task Pad and
monthly calendars are just hiding (shy little things) at the edge of
the Calendar window. So, by dragging the edge of the Calendar (not
the edge of the Outook window) to the left, the Task Pad and monthly
calendars appeared. Next I turned off the Navigation Pane, and my
calendar window is usable again. Thanks for the hint!
But, just curious why this functionality isn't documented anywhere in
the Outlook online help? Is there any more comprehensive
documentation? I'm a technical writer and am really disappointed at
how poorly MS products are documented -- how would the average person
ever figure out how to use even a fraction of the functionality?
Don't know if anyone at MS listens to these comments, but if so,
please hear the plea of a longtime user.
Thanks,

I've just installed Office 2003 and don't understand what you're
describing here. I'd like to show my current tasks in the calendar
window (like I could in previous versions of Outlook). But I don't
understand what you're saying about "dragging from the right side of
the window." Dragging what? which window? Why is this such an
unexpected question? Don't people like to see (and be able to edit
easily) their calendars and to do lists all at once? The Outlook
Today window doesn't really work for this because editing it is not
quick or easy.
Thanks for any more detail. I'm glad it sounds like Outlook
2003 supports what I liked in earlier versions (unlike the decision
to remove the Office Shortcut Bar from this release).

You can show the TaskPad in Month view by dragging from the
right side of the window, but depending on your version of
Outlook, the change may not "stick" if you move out of the
Calendar (or to a different view) and then back to Month
view. In Outlook 2003, the TaskPad seems to stick in all
of the Day/Week/Work Week/Month configurations. You can
put a button for the TaskPad on one of your toolbars if you
don't don't feel like dragging from the right side of the window
every time.
