From: Jim Peterson on
I asked a question earlier today and Diane Poremsky was kind enough to help
with that, so I'm hoping she or someone else can answer my second question.

Again, I'm running XP Pro and Office Pro 2007.

When I switch to my calendar in Outlook the Folder List appears in the left
hand pane as expected. The current month's calendar shows in the top of this
pane and then all other folders are in the bottom of the pane.

However, only the current month's calendar shows in the top of the pane. Is
there any way to expand that portion of the pane so two months show at the
same time.

I realize I can collapse the All Folders lower section of the pane and have
a number of month's calendars show, but I want to keep the All Folders
section as is and just expand the calendar section above it slightly. (There
is room, btw, on my monitor to make this happen.) Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Jim

It didn't solve a problem in Outlook 2003. It enabled a function in Outlook
2007 that Outlook 2003 didn't have: overlaid calendars.

Click and drag the right border of the Navigation pane toward the right. When
enough room has been made, a second Date Navigator month will appear.

The new calendar overlay doesn't work with compressed weekends - had they
been able to make it work, they would have. Same for the week "planner"
view that is 2 columns.

You should have as many vertical as there is room for on the left. you can
also pull the vertical bar inward to show more in each row.

pull the buttons down, remove or collapse unnecessary calendar groups. put
toolbars on one row.
this is from a small monitor: http://slipstick.me/jing/cal.png
