Customize Outlook Today

Is there a way to modify the standard Outlook Today display other than through the “Customize Outlook Today” menu? I have it set to display most items that I want, but have reached the customization limits allowed.

A couple of things that I’d like:

• A Calendar listing out to two weeks, not just one.
• Show tasks due within the next two weeks, not just “Today” or “All”.
• Adjust column widths a little more to my liking.
  [/list]Other than these, what I have set up works well enough that I don’t want to go through the fuss of creating a whole new interface when a couple of little tweaks might be enough.

David,

Did you ever find a way to customize your number of days viewed? I’d like to set this at 31 days (a month) as I don’t use the calendar very much, but what I do have listed, I’d like to see quickly.

Most of my appointments are traced in Lotus Notes (corporate solution). Outlook 2K SR-1 is my home use (currently).

I found a way, though Outlook has a tendency to be confused by it from time to time. Edit the registry at HKCU Software Microsoft Office 9.0 Outlook Today, and change the value for CalDays to 31. Looking this far out might also be a little confusing, since Outlook only shows the Weekday for the event, not the actual calendar day, but they are all displayed in the correct order.

Thanks… I’ll give it a shot when I get home.

Thanks David… that has performed just as you said. It’s not the greatest view, but it does accomplish what I need.
