    @Outlook Still an issue for me, but not sure it has a solution. In the To Do list calendar pane, I'd like to be able to hide "all day" events, and only see meetings with a start and end time. I still want to see the all day events in the calendar window.

    @Outlook I love the constant problems. Latest one was me making an *** of myself using the mail merge wizard. Send an unsavory email to my entire volunteer nonprofit. Lucky it wasn’t worse. Still no clue how your wizard managed to get me in that pickle. Horrible.
