Hi, here is some help I found, its not that hard to do. Each Microsoft Office Outlook folder, such as Inbox and Calendar, displays its items (item: An item is the basic element that holds information in Outlook (similar to a file in other programs). Items include e-mail messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, posted items, and documents.) in a layout called a view (view: Views give you different ways to look at the same information in a folder by putting it in different arrangements and formats. There are standard views for each folder. You can also create custom views.). There are several standard views available for a folder that you can choose from or you can create custom views. A view is composed of a view type (view type: The basic structure of a view. When you create a view, you must first select one of five view types (table, timeline, day/week/month, card, or icon) to determine how information will be arranged and formatted in your new view.), fields (field: An element of a table that contains a specific item of information, such as a last name. A Title field might contain Mr. or Ms. Databases such as Microsoft SQL Server refer to fields as columns.), colors, fonts, and many other settings, and gives you different ways to look at items in a folder.
For example, by viewing the Contacts folder in Business Cards view, you can display names and addresses in blocks that look similar to paper business cards. This view is a convenient way to look up the mailing address of a contact (contact: Person, inside or outside of your organization, about whom you can save several types of information, such as street and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and Web page URLs.). In Phone List view, you can view contacts in a table format with details such as job title and department name. This view is helpful to quickly find a contact's telephone number or job title. Create a view based on a standard view list of 9 items 1. Switch to the view that you want to base the new view on. 2. On the View menu, point to Arrange By, and then click Custom. 3. For each type of change that you want to make, click a button, and then select the options that you want. For example, if you want to add or remove columns, click Fields (columns are also known as fields). Then add or remove fields, or create a custom field. 4. When you finish making changes, close the Customize View: view name dialog box. 5. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click Define Views. 6. In the Views for folder folder name box, click Current view settings. 7. Click Copy. 8. In the Name of new view box, enter a name. 9. To change where the new view will be available, click an option under Can be used on. list end Notes list of 3 items If you are using multi-line layout and have added several fields to your view, you may need to increase the number of lines displayed in multi-line layout to see all the information. list of 3 items nesting level 1 1. On the View menu, point to Current View, and click Customize Current View. 2. Click Other Settings. 3. Under Other Options, change the value entered for x in Use compact layout in widths smaller than x characters. list end nesting level 1 For example, a setting of 80 characters indicates that whenever the list of message headers is reduced to a width of fewer than 80 characters, Outlook automatically displays a two-line preview.

When you create a view, you must first select one of five view types (table, timeline, day/week/month, card, or icon) to determine how information will be arranged and formatted in your new view.) that you want. 5.

Can somebody please tell me how to widen the columns in the inbox for Outlook 2007? For example, the last item in my inbox had part of Lloyd Rasmussen's name left off so it was read as Lloyd Rasmuss. Part of the time wasn't read completely either so it was read as 4 2 rather than 4:02 a.m. My inbox is indeed maximized. Thank you. Mike m.
