 Screenshots taken August 31, 2004: August 30 and 31 are not
shown on the calendar. The last Monday in July is selected because
today (August 30 or 31) is off the screen
The screenshot on the left shows the week beginning on Monday. The one on
the right uses compressed weekends.
When you begin the week on Sunday and don't use compressed
weekends, it should display properly, with 'today' highlighted in
the last week of the month.
***Note that while these settings are the default or most common, other
First Day of Week: settings may have the same affect, depending where the first
day of the month falls. This happens because Outlook displays only 5 weeks at a time and it always
displays the week containing the first day of the month at the top of the screen. The first
day shown on the calendar (which happens to be the last Monday of the last
month) is selected because 'today' is off the screen.
The workarounds include:
- Change the first Day of Week or Compress Weekend settings so the
month spans only 5 weeks.
- Press the Today button or right click on the calendar and choose
Today.
- Wait a couple of days for the first of the next month to correct it.
To change your default First Day of Week setting, Tools, Options,
Calendar button.
To change the compressed weekend settings, right click on the calendar
and choose Other Settings.
