- [Instructor] Sometimes when I'm working in Outlook,
I want to be able to switch back and forth
from one app to another.
And it used to be that when you did that, for example,
if I switched to the calendar, that the date that I saw,
every time I switched to the calendar was set to today.
So if I switched back to email and back to the calendar,
but you'll note that the calendar actually is holding
whatever the date is that I had set it to.
So if I drop forward to September and I go back to email,
back to the calendar it will hold that date setting,
which is fabulous.
So I don't need to work in multiple windows
simply to maintain the current state
of one of my Outlook apps.
But sometimes I do still want
to be able to work simultaneously
in the calendar and in mail
without needing to switch back and forth between them.
So if I'm in mail and want to also work in the calendar
I can simply point to the calendar icon, right click,
choose Open a New Window
and I will get a brand new Outlook window
with a calendar in it.
And interestingly, I can also open two versions
of the calendar and three versions of the calendar.
So if I want to be able to compare one month to another,
I can have multiple windows of the calendar open.
And that would allow me, for example,
to be able to arrange two different calendar windows
one for July, one for October,
and I could actually display these next to each other
by dragging one to the right in Windows
and then choose my other calendar,
which I believe is right here.
So I can have multiple windows
of the same Outlook application,
as well as being able to switch between email
and the calendar, which I can do
by simply choosing to display my email
and my calendar together.
Outlook remains open and running,
until you close the last window of Outlook
that you have open.
