There is a list view button at the top of every calendar standard view screen. SELECTING the list view button has a different effect depending on which calendar view screen one is in. For instance, when in the month view, activating list view makes month view work like the older month view with the date and number of appointments announced, and the current date selected list of appointments at the bottom of the display. Whilst in this view, double-tapping on the appointment opens the appointment screen. Double-tapping on a day selects the day and brings that day's appointments up at the bottom of the screen. When list view is not selected in month view, double-tapping on a date brings up day/week view. In this view, all seven days of the current week are displayed at the top of the display, and the current selected day is displayed hour by hour on the screen. I do not remember what selecting list view does in this screen. If list view is selected, it anchors to the screen that it was selected on, and causes appropriate changes to other views. Deselecting list view switches calendar to standard. List view can then be selected in the current view screen to activate different factors. One of the standard view screens will place the complete list of appointments on the display. I do not remember which view screen one must be in for this particular view effect as I do not use it. I encourage people to experiment and find the view they prefer. The calendar is very powerful.
