ID: Q180989

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 98

SUMMARY

This article describes how to change the date format of the Microsoft Outlook 98 Calendar date headings.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Outlook Calendar 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. To modify the date format for Calendar headings, follow these steps:

Click the Start button, point to Settings click Control Panel and double-click the Regional Settings icon.

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

The Regional Date Settings correlate to Outlook in the following manner:


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

NOTE: If there is not enough space on the screen to display the entire date, Outlook abbreviates the date accordingly.
