Operational Support – Tips and Tricks

Have you ever had to schedule a meeting requiring the coordination of multiple calendars? If you are an operational support person in a venture capital firm or an expansion stage company, the likelihood that you have run into this situation is extremely high.

I was reading ‘The Professional Assistant’ blog today and came across a post about a great feature in Microsoft’s Outlook 2007 called Overlay Mode. Outlook has allowed us in the past to view calendars side by side in order to visibly coordinate schedules. The overlay mode allows us to see these calendars in a consolidated area. If you have a small monitor, this mode helps when trying to view multiple days as the screen can get cramped with all the calendars open across the screen.

I found a video on You Tube that walks you through the process of overlaying multiple calendars.
