2 Time Zones in Outlook

If you do business in multiple time zones or even have family in a different zone, here's a great Outlook tip. You can see 2 time zones on your Day and Work Week calendar views.

1. Go to your Outlook calendar, click View and select "Day" or "Work Week."
2. Right-click the vertical bar showing the hours of the day.
3. Select "Change Time Zone."
4. Select “Show an additional time zone.”
5. Pick your desired time zone, give it a name in the Label box, and click OK.
Now you have two parallel time bars next to your appointments, so when you’re thinking about planning a meeting with your colleagues in the Bangkok office, you’ll know when they’ll be most likely to be awake.

If you choose Arizona as a time zone, Outlook is smart enough to recognize that AZ doesn't participate in Daylight Savings Time so that option is shadowed. Cause we're special!

Bonus Hint: If you need to check more than two time zones at a time, you might want to try a World Clock like the one on timeanddate.com. You can set up a Personal Clock then link to it from your Desktop.
