Displaying Multiple Months

[stardust]

In my previous version of Outlook I used to have at least two months
displayed in the top left corner under "Calendar". So in the large pane on
the left would be the current month I selected (or week, etc.) and in the top
left corner would be the current month plus the next month displayed below it
both very small. My husband has six months displayed. I cannot seem to figure
out how to do this in Outlook 2007. All I have displayed is the current month
and that's it. I thought it would be a simple matter of "pulling down" the
window but that's not it.

I hope this makes sense.

Sorry, that's supposed to say in the large pane on the "right" not "left".

Drag the left border farther left to widen the To Do bar or right-click the
space in the Date Navigator just above the month title, choose Options, and
pick how many months you wish to see or click Tools>Options>Other>Advanced
Options>To Do Bar and change the number of months you see.

Thank you Brian - that was very helpful. Is there a way to display them
below each other versus next to each other? I cannot drag the bottom border
down. That is the first thing I tried.

Also, is there a way to create more labels for calendar items other than the
ones already provided (busy, tentative, free, out of office)?

Thanks!!

Did you try to adjust the number of months displayed in the To Do Bar options?

No, sorry.

Yes, I adjusted it to 3 but it now shows 4 months when I drag the let border
to the right. However, it does not show the months below each other like in
the previous version.

Thank you,
Kristina

I tested this in Outlook 2010 and right-clicking the To Do Bar and choosing
Options, then specifying more months displays them in a vertical column. I
haven't tested Outlook 2007 yet.
