Default How to change the number of weeks shown in calendar monthly vi

I'm glad to hear Microsoft is looking into this. I'm using Outlook 2007 and
am also looking for a way to do the following:

1. Set the number of weeks (number of rows of weeks) displayed in a
Day/Week/Month view, which is the main request in this thread.
2. Set which row number the current week is displayed on. So, for instance,
if I want to see last week, the current week, and the following two weeks, I
would set the "number of weeks to display" as 4 and the "current week shows
on row" to 2.
3. Hide appointments from overlaid calendars if I'm one of the attendees. I
overlay my manager's calendar on mine, and as Outlook 2007 currently works,
this causes all appointments in which we're both participants to display
twice - once on my calendar, and again on his calendar. This is appropriate
in side-by-side view, but not in overlay view. While this does provide the
information that both of us are attending, but uses up precious calendar
space. Better to do something like split shading, or allow the user to
select which calendar's shading is used for duplicates, or a list of colored
stripes on the left or right side of the appointment which shows each
calendar the appointment is tied to.

I'm generally a big fan of Microsoft because they provide a lot of options
so that users can make their products work the way they want them to.
However, there are still useful options missing from Outlook (and the other
Office apps) even as mature as they are. These are some of the ones related
to the Calendar.

Is there a page where Microsoft lists all of the feature requests they've
received so that users can vote on them and comment on details? I know each
product has a blog and that the developers read them and consider the input
their customers provide in that forum, but a moderated list of features which
users can easily browse and vote on would be very helpful.

I would agree with others in this thread. Customizing the Month view
where
it defaults to two or three weeks at a time would be extremely beneficial
and
is something Microsoft should look into.

I am thankful to have found the fix in these posts about at least
temporarily changing the view. I too would vote for a more permanent
option,
though.

any fix to this yet? the three week view is great but it's a pita to
re-select the dates in the date navigator everytime i re-load the
calendar. there must be a workaround???

I doubt there will ever be a "fix" and why do you contend there "must" be
a
workaround? As fas as I know, there is not.
