Only Show 9 to 5 in MS Outlook 2007
Wait, what now? You only want to see the office hours in MS Office? Like, say from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm? What are you going to be doing from midnight to 8:00 a.m.? Don't you want that to be at the top of your calendar? I mean, sure, most people are sleeping then, but maybe you need to re-arrange the meth lab at 3:00 a.m. You could schedule that in Outlook, right? See, now you're thinking.
OK. Seriously. There's no way to only make MS Outlook 2007 only show 9 to 5. Sorry. Thanks for playing.
Update: After missing a meeting this week because the MS Outlook 2007 calendar is so useless, I finally broke down and asked a girl I work with what to do. She showed me her calendar, and though she wasn't sure how or why, her calendar was markedly better than mine. We were both viewing a Week at a time, but her calendar was clearly better.
So, I kept playing with mine and I did find something that improved it dramatically. If you right-click on a blank spot in your Outlook 2007 calendar, you can select "Other Settings". Then, you can set the Time Scale to "30 minutes" instead of "60 minutes", which is what mine had. This makes the entire day much larger, but then you can scroll down so that you only see (on one scree) from about 7:00 a.m to about 6:00 p.m. So, true, technically, the miserable MS Outlook program still wins by displaying the hours from Midnight to 8:00 a.m. where there's no chance in h3ll that a normal person would be at work, you don't have to see this hours if you scroll down. Ditto for the hours after 6:00 p.m.
