COURSE TEXT

When you write something down in a paper calendar, you don't have much choice about how it's done. You take your pencil — or your pen, if you're brave — and you write it down. Simple.

In Outlook you have choices: for example, you can choose between scheduling a meeting or an appointment, and have it occur repeatedly. Outlook will block out the time in your schedule, helping you to avoid scheduling conflicts with others. And, when it's time to go to a meeting, Outlook will remind you.
