However, sometimes Outlook users need to combine multiple Outlook calendars. Therefore, in this write-up, we have discussed both manual and automatic solution to merge calendars in Outlook 2016. So, by following this blog, a user can easily choose either manual or automated solution as per there accordance to merge multiple calendars in Outlook.
I recently started a new job and I want to keep my personal and business calendars separate. Both my personal and business accounts are Office 365 Exchange accounts. I am a heavy Outlook user and have come to rely on the To-Do bar to keep track of my appointments throughout the day. I was surprised to find out that the only calendar that appears in the To-Do bar is the one in the default account.
I was using Office 2010 and determined pretty quickly that there was no way around this hurdle. I did find a 3rd party Outlook add-in for Outlook 2013 and 2016 that claims to address the issue.
I upgraded to Outlook 2016 and downloaded the trial version of the add-in. The good news is the add-in seems to work but it creates a second To-Do bar that is not nearly as 'pretty' as the native Outlook 2016 To-Do bar. I removed the add-in and am hoping this functionality is somewhere on Microsoft's roadmap!
Another issue I have with the To-Do bar is the size of the monthly calendar and the fact that you are now limited to one month. In Outlook 2010 you could add more than one monthly calendar (I liked having the current month and the next one showing) and the calendars were smaller in size. The new calendar is much taller than those in Outlook 2010 which impacts how many appointments and tasks you can display below.
Given how many comments and complaints I have found on the net about these issues, my fingers are crossed that both issues will be fixed soon. In the meantime, does anybody have any suggestions?
