Post subject: Reminder icons for the Day/Week/Month view. Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>calendaring (more info?)
I'm very frustrated that reminder icons do not appear in the calendar
anymore. Also why was the icon that showed multiple attendees removed?

They were removed from the Day/Week/Month view to remove clutter from the
screen. You can see them both in a table view.

Diane,
Yes I realize they are in table view. Try to explain to Sr. VP's that they
have to change their view to see them!
Microsoft really has to stop changing the rules of the game and removing
stuff like this. Same goes with Vista and it's UI ... for crying out loud I
don't have to re-learn how to start my car or open the hood with every new
model year. And the preset buttons for the radio would never just be REMOVED
..... and put in the glove box.
Cheers!

If they need to be reminded that there is a reminder set or see the items
without reminders, use a custom view to hide or show or color the items -
use the Reminder field for this. If they can't tell from the subject that
it’s a meeting request, they can use a view to color also. Unfortunately,
they can only use one color - so they'll need 3 autoformatting rules - one
for reminders, one for meetings and one for meetings with reminders.

Diane,
Creative idea, I set it up as a test, but doesn't work for anyone who uses
categories and colors frequently.
Bringing back the icon would be much more straight forward.

Right, that is the one limitation. I'm not sure if it will come back in the
next version of Outlook - they know some people want it back, but the reason
for removing it was for a cleaner look and more space - if you display very
many calendars side-by-side the reminder and meeting icons (and start/end
times) push the subject off the view. While an option to toggle them off
and on would be ideal, its not always easy (or bug free) to do it.

Sorry, Diane,
But Bob H is so right on the money.
M$ needs to get their act together and stop creating "pretty" software.
Business people need it to work for them, and let the others buy Macs.
