If I knew the answer to that, I'd be rich. It makes no sense to me and
you aren't the first to ask for shaded weekends / non-working days in month
view.

Thank you for your post. I had not noticed the shading in the week view,
since I never really use the week view (most of my scheduleing is over a
month or two).

The weekend shading is exactly what I would like to see for the month
view.
Why do you suppose that Microsft saw fit to higlight working hours in the
day
view, and weekends in the week view, and neglected to allow that in the
month
view?

I considered the all-day event idea, however I try to avoid "all-day"
events
since they tend to turn into multi-day events when daylight savings
time
occurs, or when I travel and the time zone is changed. (That is an
issue I
have been fighting with Outlook for the last three versions...it has
improved, but never been really fixed).

Since outlook has settings to designate work week, I would assume
there
would be some way to show this on the calendar in the same manner as
the
"work hours" are shown on the day view. (There should be a setting or
option
to shade weekend days, or shade workdays.)

I would hope the folks at Microsoft are familiar with weekends....


You can't highlight non-working days in the month view but they will be
shaded in the week view. You can set the week to begin on monday so Sat
and Sun are grouped at the end of the month as they were in older
versions.
