Page 501 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

When you’re finished setting up the appointment, hit the “Save and close”

button at top left, or press Ctrl+S. (If invitees are involved, that button may
say “Send” or, if you’ve made changes, “Send update.”)

Your newly scheduled event now shows up on your calendar, complete with
the color-coding that corresponds to the calendar category you’ve assigned.

Inspecting an Event

Usually, Calendar shows you only each appointment’s name. But if you tap
it or (with the mouse) point without clicking, a little box pops out to show

more detail—the location and name of the person who created the
appointment, for example.

If it’s a meeting with other invitees, there’s a handy button there: “I’m

running late.” One click, and boom: An outgoing email is written and
addressed to everyone else who was invited to that meeting. Click Send and
run for the cab.

If it’s a repeating event, you have the choice of editing just that one event or
the entire series of them.

Tip

The May 2019 Update introduces a long-missing Calendar feature: the ability to search for events!
Just type into the search box at the top. (Well, you can search for events in your Outlook, Hotmail,
Live, and Office 365 calendars. The Search command can’t see into your Exchange Server, Gmail,
Yahoo, or other calendar accounts.)

Editing Events

To edit an event, just click it (with your mouse or trackpad) or tap it twice
(with your finger). You return to the screen shown in Figure 8-7, where you

can make any changes you like.
