Outlook Calendar 2007 Question

Hey guys I have a question I haven't been able to find an answer for anywhere. So I was helping for some support from any Outlook users.

How do I hide unused hours of the day from my calendar? (see pic, red box)

 

Unfortunately there is not. It sure isn't like Palm's Calendar on the Treo.

Outlook, instead has far more flexible views. You can go under View-> All Active Appointments.

Then right click the "Start Date" Column. Select "Group by this Field."

It will group all your appointments by date. If you want more info, then turn on the Reading Pane and it will show more details when you click an appointment.

 

Appreciate the advice surf! I actually didn't think there was a way to do it, I looked everywhere. But hey talk about an extremely small inconvenience right? i must be a picky guy

 

I've been using Palm's calendars for years now. It compresses your free time in day view. The Pre does the same thing. I do miss the cool view. My workflow on Outlook is different. I use it mostly to plan long term goals.

When scheduling appointments on my phone I instinctively look for free time first, then click "New Appointment."

When scheduling new appointments in Outlook, it is the opposite. You click New Appointment first, then switch to the Scheduling view to look for free time.

 

I believe there's a setting somewhere that's called start time? It's for the time you would like to begin each day at.

 

That unfortunately doesn't compress the free time you have in the middle of the day.

 

see how the cells between 12am and 8am are a light blue compared to the ones below that are white? thats the setting you're referring to and what it does.

damn my 13 inch monitor

 

Tools -> Options -> Calendar options.
Look under Calendar Work Week. You can adjust the days you want the calendar to show and the start/end times.

 

Sigh. I sometimes wonder about today's English comprehension skillz.

 

^^^ What he said? Seems like the fix to me.

 

Funny thing is, a previous poster advised the same settings. OP responded with that's what he has already done (notice boxes are shaded). Then same advice is repeated and reposted again.......

It's like Groundhog Day.

 

Maybe I am being obtuse, but you can use the vertical slider bar to scroll down to 9 am. As long as you don't scroll it back, Outlook remembers the location when you close it so 12 midnight through 9 am is effectively hidden.

Doesn't do anything for those long breaks in the middle of day, or as I like to call it, the long dark tea time of the soul....
