From: John Schroeder John on 28 May 2010 21:04 I'm glad to hear Microsoft is looking into this. I'm using Outlook 2007 and am also looking for a way to do the following: 1. Set the number of weeks (number of rows of weeks) displayed in a Day/Week/Month view, which is the main request in this thread. 2. Set which row number the current week is displayed on. So, for instance, if I want to see last week, the current week, and the following two weeks, I would set the "number of weeks to display" as 4 and the "current week shows on row" to 2. 3. Hide appointments from overlaid calendars if I'm one of the attendees. I overlay my manager's calendar on mine, and as Outlook 2007 currently works, this causes all appointments in which we're both participants to display twice - once on my calendar, and again on his calendar. This is appropriate in side-by-side view, but not in overlay view. While this does provide the information that both of us are attending, but uses up precious calendar space. Better to do something like split shading, or allow the user to select which calendar's shading is used for duplicates, or a list of colored stripes on the left or right side of the appointment which shows each calendar the appointment is tied to. I'm generally a big fan of Microsoft because they provide a lot of options so that users can make their products work the way they want them to. However, there are still useful options missing from Outlook (and the other Office apps) even as mature as they are. These are some of the ones related to the Calendar. Is there a page where Microsoft lists all of the feature requests they've received so that users can vote on them and comment on details? I know each product has a blog and that the developers read them and consider the input their customers provide in that forum, but a moderated list of features which users can easily browse and vote on would be very helpful.
