Making an Appointment: Detailed Way

That “click-to-make-a-one-hour-appointment” method is quick and easy.
But what if there’s more to the story? What if you want a reminder? Or you

want it to occur every week? Or you want to specify a calendar category
(like Work or Home)?

In that case, you should open the more complete Details screen shown in

Figure 8-7. Ways to open Details:

Open the small “new event” box first, as described already. Then

hit “More details.”

Press Ctrl+N. Of course, this method is slower than the click-the-

time-slot method, because you have to specify the time and date
manually.

Click “New event” at the top-left corner of the screen. Once
again, you have to specify the time and date manually.

On the Details screen, you can specify everything about the new
appointment:

Event name. For example, you might type Fly to Phoenix.

Calendar – [Account]. This is a drop-down menu on the right side

of the “Event name” box. Beneath headings that represent your
various calendar services—your Live.com account, Google,
iCloud, Exchange, or whatever—you see whatever calendar

categories you’ve created on that calendar service. You might see
“Work – Gmail,” “Football Club – Gmail,” and “PTA Work –
Outlook,” for example.

These color-coded subsets can be anything you like. One person
might have calendars called Home, Work, and TV Reminders.
