Switching Calendar Views in iCal
Whether you want to zero in on each hour of the day or back off and take in a month at a time, iCal can accommodate you. You can view your calendar by the day, week, or month. Meanwhile, mini-months off to the side enable you to keep track of the months surrounding today’s date.
)
Click the Day, Week, or Month button at the top of the iCal window to switch views.
Click the arrows to view different mini-months at the left side of the iCal window.
Click the check box next to each calendar to show or hide its appointments and to-do items.
Click the Today button to return to viewing today.
Tip: Customizing Day and Week Views
Choose iCal, Preferences to set the number of days displayed in Week view and choose on which day the week should start. You can also choose how many hours are shown in Day view and set start and end times for the day.
