Office 2007: Change to multi-line layout

I love the Office invention with 'arrange by conversation' view which provides canonical arrangement of the correspondence.

Today it suddenly disappeared or changed its looks. The reason was due to increase of the screen resolution in doc station, so the multi-line layout changed to single-line. I spent some time trying to solve it myself, but go figure these wonders… Eventually, googling with "Office 2007 arrange by" lead me to the next tip:


~~~~~~
Multi-line layout is only available in a table view type.
  1. On the View menu, point to Arrange By, and then click Custom.
  2. Click Other Settings.
  3. Under Other Options, do one of the following:
    • To always use multi-line layout, select Always use multi-line layout.

      If this option is unavailable, clear the Use multi-line layout in widths smaller than n characters check box, and then select Always use multi-line layout.

    • To specify the width at which Microsoft Outlook switches to single-line layout to show more fields, select the Use multi-line layout in widths smaller than n characters check box, and then type the number you want for n.
