How do I disable the "overlay" viewing option in Outlook?

I am on a Mac and up until an hour ago, I would be able view up to 3 calendars in side-by-side mode but I am not sure what happened and now, no matter how many calendars I have selected, they are all overlayed. I cannot put into words how much I hate this view!! The "Overlay" button under the "Organize" tab is greyed out and I cannot select it.

Please help!!

    Sorry I missed this earlier. Did you switch on the New Outlook? That only has overlay mode at this time.

    Hi Diane,

    I am using the outlook app downloaded on my computer. I do not have this issue with webmail.

    The overlay view is enabled no matter how many calendars I have selected and I am unable to disable it.

    Thanks,

    Sara

    Hello Sara,

    I'm Diane, an Office Apps & Services MVP specializing in Outlook and an Independent Advisor.

    Are you using Outlook software installed on your desktop or opening Outlook on the web in a browser? (You posted in the Outlook desktop on the web forum.)

    Can you disable overlay view if you show fewer calendars at once?
