If you work in a time zone that is different from the United States, you may need to change the time zone in Microsoft Outlook. This article will show you how to do this. To change the time zone in Microsoft Outlook, open the Outlook Express program and click on the Tools button. Then click on Time Zone Settings. In the Time Zone Settings window, select the country or region where you want to set up your own time zone. If you are working in a European Union country, for example, select Europe/London. If you are working in a North American country such as Canada or Mexico, select America/Los_Angeles or America/New_York. Now click on Set Time Zone. In the Set Time Zone dialog box, enter the new time zone name and click on OK. The new time zone will be set up and available for use in Microsoft Outlook.
