Ok, dragging the separator inward so that about half of the screen displays
months to choose from is definitely helpful, although I'm going to need a
bigger monitor or better glasses to use that much.
But the thing I'd like to avoid still happens: I drag the separator inwards,
so that I'm looking at 12, 16, 20 months, and I can much more easily navigate
from past date to past date within a given calendar view. But if I want to
look at all of 2006 in calendar view A, and then in calendar view B, once I
change the view to calendar view B, the 12/16/20 months showing snap back to
the current date as the first month showing in the nav pane, and I still have
to scroll backward to 2006, as it were.
I need to be able to look at months in the past in different views one after
the other primarily, not make appointments in past months necessarily.
I'm thinking this is something I'm stuck with unless there's a box somewhere
I can uncheck...?
Thanks, though.
