You can't do that. The only options for customizing the ToDo Bar are shown
when you right-click on the header row of the calendar section or the task
pane section. For the calendar you can only show/not show the calendar and
select the number of appointments shown.

I am new to Outlook, so this may have been covered, but on the ToDo Bar
(just under the small calendar), a reminder shows up for appointments I
have scheduled for next month. I have tried changing the notification
period, but the reminder remains. Is there a way to make it only visible
during the time of the notification period I have chosen, like a week or
day ahead of time?

These are recurring appointments if it makes any difference. Maybe
everyone just leaves the ToDo Bar closed and just waits for a popup
reminder---

Thanks,
Clark
