Hi everyone and I appreciate any help you can give. Someone on here always
seems to have the answer I need (even if it's just to say "you can't do
that"!).

I am running XP Pro and Office Pro 2007. I upgraded from Office Pro 2003.

I keep my calendar in Outlook set as a weekly view, showing the full week (7
days). In 2003, Outlook gave the five weekdays their own column and then
stacked Saturday on top of Sunday in a single column on the right of the
screen. Now in 2007, the only thing I can seem to get Outlook to do is give
all seven days individual columns.

I prefer my 2003 view because there aren't many appointments on Saturday and
Sunday (yet I do need to keep them viewable), but it allows more screen room
for each weekday and respective appointments so I don't have to click on each
event (or ouse over it) to see more of the title.

Is there any way to set 2007 to look like my calendar did in 2003 Office?

Thanks again for any help you can give.

Thanks for the reply Diane, though it wasn't the answer I was hoping for
obviously.

I wonder why MS made this change, or I guess the correct question is what
problem in Outlook 2003 did this change solve. Maybe it was just change for
the sake of change, but for me personally I wish someone at MS would notice
and perhaps build that option into an update. I know it seems nitpicky, but
your personal/business calendar is pretty vital to your days activities and
you're comfortable interacting with it in certain ways.

OK, enough already. I'll shut up. Thanks, again.

It didn't solve a problem in Outlook 2003. It enabled a function in Outlook
2007 that Outlook 2003 didn't have: overlaid calendars.
 
The new calendar overlay doesn't work with compressed weekends - had they
been able to make it work, they would have. Same for the week "planner"
view that is 2 columns.
