■ Preferences. The Preferences command enables you to set
the range of times that appear in the Date Book, and whether
Alarms are automatically activated for each event.
■ Display Options. The Display Options command allows you
to make settings for the appearance of the Date Book, and
control which events are displayed:
■ Show Time Bars. Activates the time bars that appear in the
Day View. The time bars show the duration of an event, and
graphically illustrate the nature of any event conflict.
■ Compress Day View. The feature changes the way times
appear in the Day View. When Compress Day View is off, all
time slots are displayed. When it is on, blank times slots
toward the bottom of the screen are eliminated to minimize
scrolling. Start and end time slots are displayed for each
event, to clarify the event’s duration.
■ Month View settings. These check boxes only apply to the
Month view of the Date Book. You can activate any or all of
these settings to show that you have Timed, Untimed, or Daily
Repeating events in the Month view only.
■ Phone Lookup. The Phone Lookup command activates the
Phone Lookup feature, which is described in Chapter 8:
Additional Features.
■ About Date Book. The About Date Book command shows
version (revision) information about the Date Book.
