Outlook 2007 cannot compress Saturday and Sunday into a single column
anymore.This is a STANDARD format for printed datebooks going back over 5
decades. This is ridiculous that new version of Outlook has LESS
functionality. I am extremely disappointed in this software upgrade. It's
like getting a new car without cupholders. I'd rather use Outlook 2003 and
have wider columns for Mon-Fri: this way I can see more event details at a
glance. It's practical. That's why it's been a standard for so long.

Feel free to reinstall Outlook 2003 - many people, including me, appreciate the newest ability to overlay calendars which made the older compressed weekend days obsolete.

Milly Staples : this sounds kind of arrogant. Whay Trippio is asking for is
the POSSIBILITY to compress weekend days in one box, not to make it
compulsory for eveyone. If YOU are happy with 1 day per box, then it does
not mean everyone is.

without the original message I have no idea what milly said, but I can tell
you that it is impossible to compress weekend days in Outlook 2007. This is
in part because of the calendar overlay feature. It's unlikely to come
back... but the best chance to see it added to outlook 14 is by opening a
support incident with Microsoft and requesting it.

The problem is, Milly doesn't work for Microsoft. You may or may not be
happy with Microsoft's choice of no linger compressing weekends, but it's a
fact you must deal with now. Because Outlook 2007 allows calendar overlays,
compressed weekends are no longer possible. Why not just disable weekend
days in the work week so that you can toggle between the work week and full
week views?

"Why not just disable weekend days in the work week so that you can toggle

I assume it is for the same reason I have for not likely the loss of this
feature. Because I still need to see Sat/Sun, but have far fewer appointments
on those days. Thus, they do not require a whole cell. The majority of my
appointments are during the normal work week, so the larger those cells are,
the better!

Does that make sense?

Unfortunately compressed weekends and the 2 column week view are unlikely to
be returned to future versions of outlook - they just don’t work with the
overlays. The method at
http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/2wk_cal/2wk_cal.htm is a good workaround
for many people.
