HOW TO CHANGE OUTLOOK 2003 VIEWS


Don’t like the way Microsoft Outlook 2003 displays email.  Change the view to the more Outlook Express classic mode.

1.         Choose View | Arrange View | Current View | Define Views.

2.         Select the Messages view, click Modify, and then click Other Settings.

3.         In the Other Settings dialog, uncheck the Show items in groups box.

4.         Under Reading Pane, choose Bottom. If you want the reading pane to occupy less space, check Hide header information. You could also turn the reading pane off completely and turn Auto Preview on instead.

5.         Uncheck the Use multi-line layout in widths smaller than xxx characters box, and then select Always use single-line layout.

6.         Click OK, and make any changes you want to fields or other view settings. Then click Apply View to display the current folder with this more "classic" Outlook view, with the navigation pane on the left, the items list on top, and the reading page on the bottom.
