Microsoft Outlook’s calendar simplifies the burden of keeping and maintaining a schedule of meetings, appointments, events, and tasks. At a glance, you can quickly see your agenda in daily, monthly, or yearly views. With Outlook, you won’t have any excuses for missing a lunch date or forgetting a meeting.
Outlook enables you to keep track of recurring meetings or events so that you don’t have to manually enter these items each time they take place. For example, you might have a weekly staff meeting that takes place every Friday from 9:00–10:00 a.m. Make it a recurring meeting, and Outlook blocks out that day and time. Similarly, if your PTA meets every third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m., you can set Outlook to schedule that meeting as well.
Outlook includes a reminder alarm that displays a message prior to your Calendar items so you won’t forget a meeting, appointment, or task. For example, you can set up Outlook to display a reminder of an upcoming meeting two or three days before the meeting. This way, if you need to prepare a presentation, document, or other item for the meeting you give yourself ample time to do so. You then can "snooze" the reminder so it goes off again, but perhaps only three hours prior to the meeting.
With Outlook’s calendar you’re not stuck with one view—you can view your calendar in several different formats. Day view is an hour-by-hour view of your daily schedule, while Month view shows your schedule for the entire month. The Date Navigator is a small calendar with which you can navigate quickly to a specific day, week, or month, while the To-Do Bar consolidates all of the features of task list, Date Navigator, and appointment list into one task pane.
