How to create views for calendar - groups

Hello,

I have an account that shows views under calendar in entourage 2004. One
is for family, one is for work, etc. How do I create a view that shows
every single calendar event?

Thanks

If you don't see an All Events view then you can create one using the
criteria:

If any criteria are met:
Category is None
Category is not None

Hope this helps! bill

Thanks - not sure if I'm asking properly. I don't use entourage or macs
normally.

I want to be able to select every single calendar event (for every event
past and present)so I can drag them to another location
Can you please tell me how to do this - please don't be shy about talking
down - the commands I use on PC don't seem anything like those for mac so I
don't know how to select all or even view all.

But Bill, this is all fine but it has not solved the problem. I asked this
before too and waht I want is to see a calender with so to say ALL LAYERS.
This way you get to see what the total scope of the calendar is. Work and
Play combined.

I want to see, when I plan anything whether it will or will not conflict
with anything in my schedule. I don't care that it might fit in work or that
it might fit in play, I need to be sure with one glance.......

Hi Ivar!

Seeing "ALL LAYERS" was not the original question. Custom Views are a
means of filtering events from one or several calendars but it does have
one drawback: you can't view any Custom View in the Daily, Weekly or
Monthly format. You'll simply get a list. While this isn't elegant, you
can sort this list by subject, date, category or any other available
column.

If you want to see layered view of multiple categories then iCal is
probably your best option. Keep in mind that while Entourage can sync
with iCal, it can only sync one calendar, not multiple.

Hope this helps! bill

Hi Bill,

In first post it looked like that was the underlaying question, possibly
also because I myself have this question. When later the person elaborted I
understood it was not what he meant, but wanted the best possible answer for
my earlier question aswel.

A few years ago I used Office:Mac and not the Apple trio. Later, I switched
completely to to this Trio, why install Entourage when the tools you need
are allready there?

Recently I switched back (and forth and back and fort and back, really)
because I cannot get Mail to work with Exchange, Entourage does look good
and like a mac style product still, and it can do tricks like
project-portfolio (gantt would have been nice!) and coloring and so on.

I am constantly in a love-hate relationship with it. Patience helps a great
deal, with some slowness at times (MBP 15" ICD 2GB ram) but I truly think MS
should have made an Intel version (and charge a fee, say $ 50)

I am looking forward to Office:2008, but hope the things like calendar
layering are fixed by then...
