For those of you who have the "Client Version" of MS Outlook, I will be periodically posting information from a training session put on by NERIC. They have graciously given permission to pass this information on to you.
Please NOTE: This information is for the CLIENT VERSION (Full version) of Outlook. Information provided will look very different if you are using the WEB Version.

New group and then
Appointment or
Double-click in a time slot in your calendar to open the
Appointment window.

Check
All day event, if appropriate.
4) If necessary, type additional details about the appointment and key information in the blank workspace.

Note: You may drag an email from your Inbox and drop it into your Calendar to schedule an Appointment. The easiest way to do this is to:
1)
Right-click on the
Calendar in the
Task Pane and then choose

2) Resize your Calendar window so it’s smaller so it’s smaller.
3) Drag an email message from your Inbox and drop it into a free time slot in your
Calendar.
4) The Subject of your email will become the Subject of your Appointment.
5) Fill-in the rest of the info for the Appointment.
