Most—if not all—of the commands in the following text refer to buttons in the Ribbon, the dynamic toolbar at the top of the window. If the Ribbon is not open, you can pin it open by clicking the small down-arrow at the top-right of the Outlook window. Step Action 1. Click the small down-arrow at the top-right of the Outlook window. Page 3 Training Guide Microsoft Outlook 2010 for Windows: Calendaring Appointments The difference between Appointments and Meetings is simple: appointments are just for you; meetings include other attendees. If you create an appointment and then add someone else to it, it becomes a meeting. First, let’s look at appointments. Step Action 1. In the Home ribbon, click on New Appointment. Page 4 Training Guide Microsoft Outlook 2010 for Windows: Calendaring Step Action 2. Fill in the appropriate details in the New Appointment window. Page 5 Training Guide Microsoft Outlook 2010 for Windows: Calendaring Recurring Appointments When appointments are to be scheduled on an on-going basis, Outlook does this by creating Recurring appointments. Step Action 1. In any New Appointment window, select Recurrence in the Appointment Series ribbon. 2. Choose the Appointment Recurrence pattern by which you would like the event to recur. Note: Microsoft suggests not using the No end date option when creating recurring appointments, meetings, or events. This can degrade performance. Instead, it is suggested that you choose an end date sufficiently far enough into the future such that it seems to never stop recurring. There is no limit to how far into the future meetings can be scheduled, however. Page 6 Training Guide Microsoft Outlook 2010 for Windows: Calendaring Meetings Whenever Appointments include other people, they become Meetings. While the language differentiates between the two, often the words are used interchangeably. Step Action 1. In the Home ribbon, click on New Meeting.
