Organizing the Calendar List in Outlook 2007

Do you use multiple calendars in MS Outlook 2007?

Do you have quite a list of them?

Do you get frustrated as you look through the list, trying to locate the one calendar you need?

You might try to display them all, but let's face it, you can only display so many at one time and still be able to see what's going on.

So, now what?

Well, if your list of calendars is long and "out of order," this might be just the thing you need!

No, we aren't going to combine them or delete any of them. We're going to look at ways to arrange them.

First, you can have Outlook quickly alphabetize them with just a couple clicks.

  • Right click on the "My Calendars" section title.

  • Now, choose Arrange by Name.

Presto! The calendars are in an alphabetical list.

The second way to arrange them is manually. That would allow you to place those you use most often toward the top of the list in an order that makes sense to you.

  • To accomplish a manual move, right click on an actual calendar name.

  • From the menu that pops open, choose either "Move Up in List" or "Move Down in List," depending on which way you want it to go.

  • Keep doing that until everything is in the order you buy cialis doctor online prefer.

Either way, you can still keep separate calendars for different reasons and still make it efficient to switch between them!

Making the To-Do Bar Yours

I don't know about you, but I really like the To-Do Bar in MS Outlook 2007 (it's on the right side of the Outlook 2007 program window).

I find I'm constantly using the Task List to see what's due and to see what's coming up in the near future.

At any rate, if you've grown attached to the To-Do Bar, but wish maybe one section wasn't displayed or you could see more than one month at a time, you may be happy to know that there are some options for you!

To see exactly what you can change, you need the View menu, To-Do Bar submenu, Options choice.

When the To-Do Bar Options dialogue window opens, you'll see three settings, because there are three sections on your To-Do Bar.

Let's begin by saying you can remove any of the three parts by unchecking it in this window.

Beyond that, you can also control how many months of the calendar should be displayed and how many appointments you want to be listed.

Check, uncheck and set the quantities as you like and then click on the OK button.

You'll instantly find that your To-Do Bar has been updated to reflect your requests.

At this point, we must discuss what might be an unexpected outcome. If you choose to show multiple months of the calendar, the calendar will take up more space. Outlook will then redistribute what space is left and you may find yourself with a vertical scroll bar in one of the other areas.

You get the idea. Space is limited to the size of your monitor and Outlook will accommodate your choices, but you may find you can't actually see everything at once. best price for cialis It could take some scroll work to get to all of it.

I'd say that's a small price to pay for such convenient information though, wouldn't you?!

A More Subtle E-mail Alert

So, after yesterday's discussion on desktop e-mail alerts in MS Outlook 2003 and 2007, I'm sure there are at least a few of you who are wondering what's available that might be a little more subtle. Am I right?

Well, I asked that very same thing myself. At work, I often project my computer screen as part of my teaching and I certainly don't need an alert to pop up in the middle of a lesson so that all of my students can see who's sending what. That's not a good idea at all!

Yet, I like the ability to just glance at my desktop otc cialis and know there's new e-mail, so it's worth my time to switch over to Outlook.

So, here's my suggestion for anyone who agrees with me. I like to have Outlook put a small, subtle hint on my taskbar that has obvious meaning. I use this little envelope as my notification:

When I see that in the taskbar, I know there's something new to investigate when I have a moment. Granted, I don't know who sent it or what it's about, but it still gives me the notification I need.

If you're interested in using this for yourself, here's what you need to do.

First, you're headed back to the Tools menu, Options choice.

Once again, under the Preferences tab, click on the E-mail Options button.

In the middle of the E-mail Options dialogue window, you need the Advanced E-mail Options button.

From there, you're looking for the section labeled "When new items arrive in my Inbox."

Within that section, you need to select the "Show an envelope icon in the notification area" choice.

Three clicks of the OK button and you're back to work with a more subtle notice of new messages.

Also, just in case you're wondering, Outlook will remove the envelope icon notification when it detects that the new message has been read!
