Calendar Tip - Viewing non-sequential days side by side

(This applies to Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003)

Make selecting a date for an appointment easier.
Let's say you have a customer call you and they have certain dates they are available - instead of scrolling to each of those dates and jotting down times that work within your calendar...view each day side by side!

With just a few clicks you'll be looking at those dates, here's how:

Step 1: Start by going to the Calendar view in Outlook, you'll see a thumbnail view of the current month on the left hand side of Outlook .

Step 2: Press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key down as you click on the dates you want to view. As you click the big Calendar to the right will change to show you only those dates.

Step 3: You can even select dates in other months by continuing to hold the Ctrl button down while you click on the arrow to advance to the next month, and still Ctrl, + Clicking on the days.

Note: You can also grab the blue column divider (vertical) and drag it to the right to display more thumbnail calendars.

Try this tip out and let me know what you think.

Jeff, I have gone to G Mail as my company has told us/me that this will be our platform.  If you or anyone you know has tips on this, I would love to know.

Best of regards, Tom

Tom...I have a GMail account...but I don't use it very often...I've never much cared for web-based email programs...I find them slow and just don't have the features I use.  You can however, use Gmail and Outlook...essentially using GMail to "screen" your emails so when Outlook downloads the emails you don't receive the "junk".

If you have any GMail questions feel free to send me an email and I'll shoot you back an answer.

Aloha,

Jeff
