View Calendars in Overlay Mode

If you use Outlook to manage multiple calendars — for example, one for work and one for home — you can view those multiple calendars in overlay mode. In overlay mode, the calendars appear transparent and stacked, enabling you to see the appointments, events, and meetings in both.

1.
With Calendar open, click the check box next to the calendar you want to view in addition to the one that is already open ( changes to ). Note: You can view as many as 30 calendars at one time. Outlook displays the selected calendars side by side.
