OL2000: How to Change the Date Format of Calendar Headings (195663)

MORE INFORMATION

In the Outlook Calendar Day/Week/Month view, the date heading over the Day view may display in the format, "day, month date" (Tuesday, February 18). Outlook inherits this date format from the Windows Regional Long Date setting, but does not display the year.

To modify the date format for Calendar headings, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel and double-click the Regional Settings icon.
2. On the Date tab, click to select the Long date style you want. Outlook uses this style to display the date for the Calendar day heading.
   
   

      The Regional Date Settings correlate to Outlook as follows:
   
         Regional Date Setting                   Outlook
         ---------------------                   -------
         dddd,MMMM dd,yyyy                       dddd, MMMM dd
         MMMM dd,yyyy                            MMMM dd
         dddd,dd MMMM,yyyy                       dddd, dd MMMM
         dd MMMM,yyyy                            dd MMMM
   
         dddd = The day of the week, such as Monday.
         MMMM = The month, such as July.
         dd   = The calendar date such as 1, 15, 30.
         yyyy = The year, such as 1998.
   						

NOTE: If there is not enough space on the screen to display the entire date, Outlook abbreviates the date accordingly.
