OL97: How to Change the Date Format of Calendar Headings

• Microsoft Outlook 97

SUMMARY

This article describes how to change the date format of your Outlook 97 Calendar's date headings.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Outlook Calendar's 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. You can modify the date format for Calendar headings by following these steps:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings and click Control Panel.

2. In the Control Panel, double-click the Regional Settings icon.

3. On the Date tab, click the Long date style. Outlook uses this style to display the date for the Calendar day heading.

 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
