When I open OUTLOOK in the month calendar mode, it always defaults to a
screen with today's date and week 3/5 of the way down the screen. I want to
have the OUTLOOK open with today's date (and week) at the TOP of the screen.
How can I do this as a default.?

outlook doesn't support that.

It is annoying, isn't it? What, I believe, it is doing is putting the 1st of
the current month on the first row. So if you open your calendar on the 1st
of the month, it will be at the top, but if you open your calendar near the
end of the month, today's date will be selected further down the screen.

This is exactly what it does! Towards the end of the month, it sometimes
unfortunately happens that putting the 1st of the month on the top row means
that today isn't anywhere on the screen! You actually have to scroll down to
find it. I would really appreciate any suggestions on fixing this extremely
annoying problem-this by itself is enough to make me look for other calendar
software, because I often get thrown off-open calendar, today is the 30th,
see 30th in the very first row... oops, those are last month's appointments!

Can I add a me too here? It would make much more sense to just center
the default view on the current date rather than trying to display the
first day of the month.

I would very much like to see this as an option as well.

Hi Guys,

An extremely anoying "BUG" i must admit. the work around i found works can
be written as a macro but I DO NOT KNOW HOW. if anyone has suggestions,
please offer. Sequence that will show current date on top in Month view is.

Page Down - Page Down - ALT + o.

This basically scrolls down twice and then goes to todays date. this will
always bring todays date to top.

hope it helps

I prefer to see last week as the first row. For me it's

Page Down - Page Down - ALT + o. Up - Down

EVERY ^%&^%( TIME I switch to the Calendar tab.

If I look at an email, oops the Calendar view is screwed up again.
