SYMPTOMS

When you choose to show Sunday as the first day of the week in Microsoft Outlook, the Weekly Calendar display and the Weekly Calendar printout are not changed as you expect.

CAUSE

The Weekly Calendar display always displays Saturday and Sunday together in a single day cell. Because Sunday is always below Saturday in that cell, it is not possible to display Sunday as the first day of the week.

MORE INFORMATION

When you turn off the Compress weekend days option and then choose Sunday as the first day of the week in Monthly views, the display and the printout work as expected.

To turn off the Compress Weekend Days option in Microsoft Outlook 2000 and in Microsoft Outlook 2002, follow these steps:
  1. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click Customize Current View.
  2. In the View Summary dialog box, click Other Settings.
  3. In the Month area, click to clear the Compress weekend days check box.
  4. Click OK two times.
Note The small monthly calendar that is displayed in the Day/Week/Month view always displays the correct "First day of week" choice, even when the Compress weekend days option is turned on.

To turn off the Compress Weekend Days option in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, follow these steps:
  1. On the View menu, point to Arrange By, point to Current View, and then click Customize Current View.
  2. In the Customize View dialog box, click Other Settings.
