Do you have a need to view multiple times zones at once in your Outlook Calendar?

Here is a little tip on how to make Outlook show you the times on your calendar for two time zones in the same view – it’s quite handy and reduces confusion especially if one time zone uses daylight savings and another may not throughout the year.

Not to mention they recently changed the dates for when DST begins and ends. Hopefully we are saving some energy as I know it confused a ton of people over the past 12 months (many of which missed important appointments because of it)….oops I digress..back to the instructions on how to use this nifty Outlook feature.

First click to view your calendar. Then be sure that you are in day or week view. You will see the hours of the day listed in the left. Right click anywhere on the left where the hours of the day are listed. Then select “Change Time zone”. On the next screen check the check box “Show an additional time zone” Then below it select the additional time zone you want to see. You can label each one as well by entering whatever you want to call each one in the “Label” field.

Then simply click “OK” as your last step and now you can view two timezones in your calendar at once.

Simple and handy isn’t it?
