Irregular Appointments

Outlook18
So I want to put an appointment in my calendar. And repeat the same

appointment again and again - but at different times and on different days.

But

at the moment I can only repeat this appointment if it recurs at a

regular time - daily, weekly, monthly, etc.



There should be a a way for me to repeat it at irregular times and dates

without

having to type every thing up again and again. Even copy-and-pasting isn't

simple.



I understand there are third party tools that can be purchased in order to

do this, but I really think that for ease of use it should be part of

Calendar in the first place.



Thanks for reading and best wishes

You could publish the appointment. Once published, it appears in your menu.

Then, just click on the menu item and a new appointment appears with all

your info already filled in, just change the date.

Re:Irregular Appointments



If it's a meeting that you are NOT inviting others to, you can do this:



Make the appoinment for it's first instance, then RIGHT mouse drag it to

each day you want to schedule it (do this on the Date Navigator or in the 31

month view). Release, COPY and then adjust it the the right time of day.

You can do a whole lot at once.
