Did you see this one in the last response? That's the closest I can come.

Last week we asked:

Why can't I see appointments in Month view? Specifically, the question was 
about Outlook 2007. As the question implies, Month view doesn't display 
appointments, which seems a bit odd.



Outlook 2007 has a new view option that gives you a measure of transparency 
into your day. You can display just a bit, or a lot-it's up to you. For 
instance, the above calendar shows only a few day events because the detail 
level is set to low. Select the appropriate detail level for your needs:

  a.. Low (the default) shows only all day events (hiding all appointments).
  b.. Medium shows all day events and displays a line for appointments. The 
length of the appointment determines the line's thickness.
  c.. High shows all day events and all appointments, which can get a bit 
messy if you're really popular...I mean busy.
To change the detail level, simply click the appropriate setting just to the 
right of the view tabs (at the top of the screen). In Outlook 2010, select 
detail settings from the Month button.

Month view is a tight fit, so a low or medium detail setting provides a 
high-level view of your days, without all the specific details. With a quick 
glance, you can determine how busy (or not) you are. If you need more 
detail, click High.
