Make that mail an appointment

  • 發行項

How often have you received an e-mail that is about something you want to put on your calendar? For example, I received an e-mail about a presentation about Office Live.

I am interested in learning more about Office Live, so I want to go. What to do? In Outlook 2003 and earlier, I could drag the mail to the Calendar icon and then to the Date Navigator in the Calendar, but what if there was a better way? In Outlook 2007, all I need to do is drag the mail to the Date Navigator and presto! New appointment on the day of my choosing, with all of the mail's info right there.

Drag a mail item to the To-Do Bar to make it an appointment!

 

Change the appointment time and I'm all set.

    Dear Nektar,

    very strange, but many of the features you are requesting are in Outlook 2003. There's no need to request them for Outlok 2007. I wonder, what version you are using?

    Start and end date in appointments do have a drop down calendar and point and click functionality.
    With End Date you have to change your habits. End Date, and End Time are actually meant for setting duration, not the finishing time. Just change your thinking here.
    Location field in Outlook 2003 does remember last locations entered.

    I don't get it.  If I drag a message to my To-Do Pane, shouldn't it show up in my list of stuff to do?

    It will if you drag it to the task section of the To-Do Bar.

    Wow, that's confusing.  Some parts of the To-Do Pane make a task and other parts make an appointment.  Yet another weird inconsistency in Microsoft software.

    As you might have guessed from my post on March 31 about dragging mail to the Date ...

    this was helpful to me, thanks. I kept dragging the email to the calendar accordian button on the left side, and so it kept creating the appointment for the current day. I didnt realize you had to drag it to the right side, to the navigator pane, instead. There you can just drop it on the day that you want the appointment! Great. p.s., I like outlook a lot, despite all the anti-ms feeling out there; i find it quite useful and well made, especially the 2007 version. ;)
