Outlook has the ability to show week numbers down the side of the calendar in monthly view, and on the mini-calendar:

enter image description here

In options, you can set the first week of the year, but only to the following three options:

This is all very nice, but at work our "year" starts on a different date to match up with accounting periods - it's currently week 37 rather than 45!

I'd like Outlook to be able to tell me which week it is at work, so is there any way I can set a custom date to be the first week of the year?
