If you do business in multiple time zones or even have family in a different zone, here’s a great Outlook tip. You can see 2 time zones on your Day and Work Week calendar views.

1. Go to your Outlook calendar, click View and select “Day” or “Work Week.”
2. Right-click the vertical bar showing the hours of the day.
3. Select “Change Time Zone.”
4. Select “Show an additional time zone.”
5. Pick your desired time zone, give it a name in the Label box, and click OK.
Now you have two parallel time bars next to your appointments, so when you’re thinking about planning a meeting with your colleagues in the Bangkok office, you’ll know when they’ll be most likely to be awake.

If you choose Arizona as a time zone, Outlook is smart enough to recognize that AZ doesn’t participate in Daylight Savings Time so that option is shadowed. Cause we’re special!

Bonus Hint: If you need to check more than two time zones at a time, you might want to try a World Clock like the one on timeanddate.com. You can set up a Personal Clock then link to it from your Desktop.

Check out the new site completed for Steel Dor in Tucson, AZ.  www.SteelDor.com

Steel Dor manufactures metal and wood doors. They sell to distributors across Arizona as well as individual companies. They had a LOT of information to publish including electronic order forms, product specifications, installation instructions, etc. We used doors as their navigation buttons for the site.

One very unique feature on this site is the Daily Insult. There’s a link at the bottom of each page. Steel Dor employees have a great sense of humor. Tim Troutman, in particular, has an interesting view of the world. He shares some of his favorite insults with us.
