Displaying Public Calendars in Outlook
Q: Outlook 2003 has this fantastic feature where you can display calendars side-by-side. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get some of those calendars located in the Public Folders to display along side my personal calendar. Help?
A: This solution is so simple that I needlessly spent ½ hour in disbelief trying to make it more difficult than it actually was.
- In the Folder List, in the Navigation Pane, right-click the public calendar (folder) for which you want to add a shortcut, and then click Add to Favorites on the shortcut menu.
The “Add to Favorites” dialog will appear.
OPTIONAL: If you wish to change the name of the public folder that appears in your Favorites folder, type a new name in the Favorite folder name box.
- Click the Add button.
- From Outlook's menu bar, select Go > Calendar.
The public calendar will appear as a selection in the Navigation pane under the category "Other Calendars".
