remove time grid from Outlook 2007 calendar

[Duopshebop]

Is there a way to REMOVE the time grid on the left of the Outlook 2007
calendar?? I have just upgraded from Outlook 2002 and cannot seem to fit the
same amount of information in the weekly view in the new 2007 format. I would
rather just put a time in and have it appear EXACTLTY, instead of having it
fit somewhere in the grid. I would rather have the 7 large squares to type
stuff in (weekend being split), then waste my usable space with the time
grid.

Since there are a lot of people who Don't want this Time Grid , why can't
this go up for review and perhaps a download be issued to remove it for
those who want to ???

 

[Duopshebop]

Since there are so many of us who would like to see the time grid GONE, why
can't this go up for review and a fix be issued for those of us that want to
remove the time grid??? : )

Can a fix be issued to remove the time grid since so many of us don't want
it???

2 people is not a lot... regardless, it may or may not be something
Microsoft is considering for the next version of Outlook. It is unlikely to
make it into Outlook 2007 as an update.

Rather than remove the time scale, they are more likely to bring back some
from of a weekly calendar - they do get a lot of requests for the old
calendar view (which was removed because calendar overlays couldn't use it).

LOL ! Your right. 2 people is not a alot! However I have read at leat 10
posts asking for this, (again not a lot)(maybe they are under a different
category) and I'm sure there are more. But regardless, it is an annoying
issue. You should be able to manipulate your calendar in any way shape or
form that you want! You should not be stuck with such a tight format! With
all the unique & brilliant minds at Microsoft , you would think they would
write the programs so that each person would have the ability to personalize
it as they wish.. Thanks!

How about a two week view? Select 2 weeks in the navigation calendar and
you'll have large grids.

http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/i/2wk_cal/2wk_cal.html is a flash movie
showing how to do this.

 

[Duopshebop]

Thanks Diane! I will check it out! appreciate all your help!

 

[Duopshebop]

Diane,
Thank You , Thank You, Thank you!!! That is the perfect solution!!!!!! I
can see more at one time, its much larger, and I don't have to look at the
Time Grid!!!!!!!!

 

[HawkTech]

Thank you this is much better. Another question, is there a way to change
the way the text is displayed so ou can see all of the appointment? Can the
text wrap to display all the info including the appointment time?

 

[Diane Poremsky]

no on wrapping.

Let me add my voice to those who HATE the time grid. The two-week view
option suggested here is feasible, but much worse than the Outlook 2003 view.
I would love a "classic view" option in 2007 which would let me see, at
least my calendar, the old way.

Make sure you let Microsoft know - if you purchased outlook within the last
90 days, open a support incident (you get 2 free).

 

[Diane Poremsky]

FYI - re support info (it's unlimited in the first 90 days)

I would like to add that there are more than just 2. I also want to bring up
that when we go to print the 2007 version, it does print in the format that
people are wanting. Seem silly that we can print the format we want, but not
use the format we want. The weekly version with out time grid was the
default option to print weekly for me.. Seems silly huh???????

You're talking about the weekly planner view? It won't be back in outlook
2007 but its on my list of things to discuss with them next week. Whether it
will be back in outlook 14 remains to be seen. We'll know in a yr or so.

Diane, that 2 week view was an excellent suggestion. I've been looking
everywhere for a solution to be able to see the large blocks w/o time grid.
Thank You So Much!
