Outlook should have GUI setting to show "next few days" in Calenda
This is a very fundamental functionality for Outlook Calender Viewing.
There are four kinds of views provided: Day, Work Week, Week, Month. The work week or week is most useful to me, but at the end of the week, I can not easily the coming Monday's or Tuesday's appointments because of my small horizon. So I have to manually see the next week's appointments. There should be a view which will allow something like "Coming Few Days". I tried to look into everywhere in the Calendar, and looked at "Customize my View" in the Calender, but could not find the setting in the GUI. When I searched the Outlook Online Help, I found that I have to press the "Alt+5" key combination in the calendar to see the coming five days in the view. Now this setting is not intuitive, and is not available as a setting in the GUI, so one cannot discover this fundamental thing unless he searches the help. I suggest having that as a standard view of the calender, or if not that, then adding this functionality in the "Customize my View" dialog box in the Calendar. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Use the right and left arrow keys to move to the next week or day view.
Also, your "few" may not be my "few" so I doubt that this would be a useful feature. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

On a work week view (and sometimes a full week view) which I (and many many
others) use, if I keep pressing right arrow to slide off the edge, then I see the next whole week -- I cannot scroll..!!!! Basically on a Thursday, I want to see: Thurs, Fri, Mon, Tue, Wed as the days vertically. There are two ways to do this: One is to press Alt+5. (here my "few" can be changed to your "few" by changing the number you press with Alt), and the second is select the dates via mouse on the calendar. After you do this, you get the view desired, and also the scrolling ability (in granularity of days) enables you to slide that 5-day view over the calender in movements of days. This is the perfect view (for me, and I am sure many others). But the pressing of Alt+5 is not intuitive. And selecting dates via the mouse on the calendar is also cumbersome. What you need is another view besides the standard 4, called the "Sliding Window" view, which will allow customizing the width of the window, and whether the weekends will show up in that window. And then you should be able to scroll the view window around the calendar. The functionality is there, but the access is via Alt+5, which should be intuitively depicted as a standard user-choosable view. PS: by "window" I mean in abstract terms, not an actual Microsoft Windows' window. "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Use the right and left arrow keys to move to the next week or day view.

Use the Date Navigator (the little calendar bit) and with your mouse you can
wipe a few days eg next Mon/tues/wed. You can also CTRL Click and see any days you pick.
