I would like to show appointments spanning several days the same way as appintments within a single day.

Single day appointments are shown with a white or colored box, covering the day horizontally.

Multi-day appointments are shown in the day/week header and are indicated blue or purple on the left side of a day. This happens even if a multi-day appointment is not an all-day appointment (i.e. checkbox is off) and I have a start and end time. I frequently have a hard time seeing appointment overlaps wenn acceping single day appointments.

Therefore I am looking for multi-day appointments shown the same way as single day appointments.

I am on Outlook 2003.
