Outlook Best Kept Super Secret

If you use MS Outlook as an email, calendar, and contact manager, then you are familiar with switching screens back and forth to check your calendar. This trick works best if you have two monitors on your desk. It still works with one monitor, but your best results are with two.

Basically, you can place your email on one screen and your calendar on the other. This saves a ton of frustration flipping back and forth. Here's how...


1. Open Outlook
2. Click the Mail button on bottom left panel
3. Now "Right Click" the Calendar button
4. Choose "Open in new window"
5. Move the Calendar window to the other screen
(or beside your email screen)
6. Resize as necessary and Happy Scheduling!

You will appreciate this little hidden trick so much that I hope you show it to someone else.
