Can I cross-out days in the past or make them another color
Diane, I know you can't mark off days. The challenge is to get someone at
Microsoft to see that this is a feature that thousands of customers would like! There ought to be settings that allow one a variety of methods for "marking the dates".

Can I cross-out days in the past or make them another color
We all know folks in Microsoft's Office group as well as Outlook and believe me, this is far down on the wish list and even further down on the list of items to program. Foremost right now is fixing the performance issues with Outlook 2007.
Marking past days with an X is both very hard to do and very unlikely to be done. If you would really like this feature, then put in a wish on the Microsoft Office site but don't hold your breath. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Can I cross-out days in the past or make them another color
My question is similar but a tad different.
The default Calendar view in Outlook shows you the current week at the very bottom, looking back at the past 4 weeks. Obviously the appointments and meetings in the future are more important. How do I change it so I'm seeing maybe, only 1 week in the past at the top and the coming weeks at the bottom?

I presume you are talking about the month view? If yes, you asked for a month view and that is what you are seeing, the entire current month.
If you want a month ahead view, change to the daily view and then swipe an entire month from the data navigator.

Enable the Advanced Toolbar, then use the dropdown to change to daily view. With the Date Navigator displayed click on the current day and using the Shift button, click on the day 30 or 31 days out. Release your mouse and you should have a current month view that will advance with the dates rather than display the current month. Your week should always be on top.

Half way there
Hi, I too want to do what this post is trying to achieve, and I am half way
there. I can make it so that the current day/week is on the top of my monthly calendar, as per this post (Outlook 2007), but every time I go to some other part of Outlook, and then return to my Calendar, it defaults to the old view with the current day/week at the bottom. Is there any way to save a current view. So that all the settings will return next time I come back to the calendar. I've tried the customise current view page, but it doesnt load the settings from the current view, and I dont really know which settings to change to make it identical to my "live" current view.
