Time Zones

I travel extensively and use the Time Zone feature of Outlook 2007.

Unfortunately, Windows XP's list of time zones is very limited when it comes

to medium or small towns and some countries like Kazakhstan. I would like to

be able to add entries to the Windows time zone list so I don't have to

research which alternative offered by Windows is the correct one. Does anyone

know of a way to do this?

Re: Time Zones

 

Time Zones are all in UTC + or - format. All you have to do is find out the

local time zone's UTC format and select it.

 

cf. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/

 

e.g., Astana (AKA Aqmola), Kazakstan is UTC +6

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=921

 

NB: Not all areas in Kazakstan are in the same time zone; e.g.,

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=916

 

NB: UTC and GMT are not necessarily interchangable.

 

PS: MS TimeZone can be a handy utility for international travelers! =>
