Outlook Calendar question

[Sonoman]

Hi all:
On the reminder section of calendar there is a drop menu that has the option
to launch the reminder a predetermined time before the actual event. On that
drop menu I used to have the option to set the reminder for up to a week
before the event (I think I had 3,4 and 7 days to choose from). Now it only
goes as far back as 2 days. Can anyone tell me how to get those entries in
the drop down menu back?

I know that if I wanted a reminder for a week I just set it 5 days ahead of
time with a reminder of two days, but it can get very messy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can just type a value into the reminder box...it doesn't need to appear
on the dropdown. Type in 1 week or 7 days (which will change to 1 week), or
you can even type in a shortcut like 1w or 7d and it will change to the full
value when you tab out of the box.
