Using the Date Navigator.

You can use the Date Navigator to change the day or range of days shown on the

The default Date Navigator.

By default, the Date Navigator displays six weeks at a time. The current date is indicated

by a red border. The days of the selected month are black. Days of the previous month

and the next month are gray, but you can still select them in the Date Navigator. Bold

dates indicate days with scheduled appointments, meetings, or events.

You can display a specific day, week, or month in the Calendar pane by selecting it in the

Date Navigator. Use these techniques to work with the Date Navigator:

● To display a day, click that day.

If you’re displaying the calendar in Day, Work Week, or Week view, the day appears

and is highlighted in the current view. If you’re displaying the calendar in Month

view, the display changes to Day view.

● To display a week, click the margin to the left of that week. Or, if you display

week numbers in the Date Navigator and Calendar, click the week number to

display that week.

In any calendar view, selecting a week in the Date Navigator changes the display

to Week view.

Tip Specific weeks are referred to in some countries by number to simplify the communi-

cation of dates. (For example, you can say you’ll be out of the office “Week 24” rather than

“June 7-11.”) Week 1 is the calendar week in which January 1 falls, Week 2 is the following

week, and so on through to the end of the year. Because of the way the weeks are num-

bered, a year can end in Week 52 or (more commonly) in Week 53.

To display week numbers in the Date Navigator and in the Month view of the calendar,

select the Show Week Numbers... check box on the Calendar page of the Outlook

Options dialog box.
