Displaying 7+ events across on calendar.

My company uses Outlook as our main organizational calendar. We often have
more than six events happening at one time. However, the calendar will only
display six events across the screen in the Day view. Is there a way to make
it show more?

Changing your screen resolution is, I think, the only way. Even then,
though, there is a maximum number. I don't recall it off-hand (although
"10" comes to mind), but it's been posted in this newsgroup multiple times.
Google Groups should find it for you.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. I have changed my screen
resolution to the max I can go. Everything is smaller, but still only six
events will show on the screen. No matter what I have done, including
resizing the panels, the six events just stretch to fit the space, and
additional events just don't show up. The best way I've found to look at them
is to go to print, select "calendar details" format, and "preview" the pages.
This is not a reasonable method for the technically challenged users in our
organization. There should be a setting under preferences, customize current
view, or SOMEWHERE, but I have not found it.

Thanks!

six is the time period limit - how many all day items shown (top of the
screen) varies based on the screen resolution.

Thanks! Now I can at least tell my people that there is NO WAY to view more
than six events in one time period. One person keeps saying that there is a
way, but can't show me how. If I learn any way around it, I'll post it.
