  Question
  My calendar display six weeks in the monthly view and it obscures the details
that I want to see. How do I change it to show only 4 weeks so that I can
see the detail of each day's appointments?

Thanks!

In the Data Navigator, click on a week and drag your cursor over that and
the next three weeks.

  How do you keep that setting so that your month view shows only 3 weeks so
you can see all the details each time instead of having to select the weeks
manually?

I doubt there will ever be a "fix" and why do you contend there "must" be a
workaround? As fas as I know, there is not.

  I would agree with others in this thread. Customizing the Month view where
it defaults to two or three weeks at a time would be extremely beneficial and
is something Microsoft should look into.

I am thankful to have found the fix in these posts about at least
temporarily changing the view. I too would vote for a more permanent option,
though.

  They are looking into it for the next version. There is no guarantee they
will be able to make it work.

  This is EXACTLY what's been driving me bonkers! I want to open Outlook and
have it default to a 3-week display. Every time I open Outlook, I have to
change to Calendar view (it opens in Mail view) and then select the three
weeks. Sometimes, after I've selected that 3-week view, it automatically
goes back to its default 5-week view and I have to select back to the 3-week
- very annoying! I'd also love to get a solution to this - how to customize
my default view. Kathi

I don't think you can. Most businesses, for which Outlook is designed, don't
work on three weeks.....

  I want the three week view also. Or two week, or how ever many weeks one
selects in the first place, one should get the same displayed again after
checking his mail.

This is very useful for short term planning, as in more than 3 week display
the appointments on each day get far less space than in 2 week or 3 week
display.

If you are like me and like to keep track of many events, some of them
lasting more than one day, then for sure you use the 2 week / 3 week display
on the calendar.

It is very annoying to have to select it again and again each time you check
the email or tasks.

Microsoft should fix this
