This tutorial shows you how to view two (or more) calendars side by side and overlay them in Outlook 2007 (and Outlook 2010/2013).
Outlook 2003 supports side-by-side calendars but does not support overlaying the calendars. Older versions of Outlook do not support opening multiple calendars like this; you'll need to right click on the calendar and choose "Open in New Window" then arrange the windows on your screen so you can see all of them at the same time.
To switch between overlay and side-by-side mode:
Click on the arrow on the tab
- or -
Right-click on the folder name and choose View in [other] Mode.
Hello Diane,
Thank you for your explanations on these Outlook calendars.
As I have two calendars in my OL 2010, one for biz and one for private appointments in overlay view when activated, I would like to start OL without having to also click the private one before being able to see all appointments.
Is there a way of starting OL with both calendars activated from the beginning?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Martin
Outlook 2010 should remember that both are selected (unless you start in the calendar), but if not, you can use VBA or an addin.
