German term or phrase: Ich werde außer Haus sein vom 06/13/2001 bis 06/18/2001.

I'll be out of the office from ... to ...
Explanation:
"außer Haus" is a phrase used only in business German and in a very narrow meaning. It is not used in everyday colloquial speech, and it means strictly out of the office, not away from home. If a native German speaker wanted to indicate that s/he will be away from home, s/he use the term "verreisen".

The phrase "außer Haus" would also be used, for instance, when informing a caller that the person he is trying to reach is away from his desk (and physically out of the office).

Explanation:
From the text, it's impossible to tell whether the person is away from home or out of the office. I expect you get the gist anyway (-:

Explanation:
I fully agree with uel. This has absolutely nothing to do with "home". "Er ist ausser Haus", "sie ist heute nicht im Haus", "ich bin ausser Haus" always refers to "office".
