Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell

Calendar

The most obvious function of Calendar is as a graphical, electronic Daytimer®. Calendar is much more than that, however. Calendar is a flexible time-management tool that you can use to track and manage appointments, events, and meetings. Calendar can filter, sort, and display items in various layouts (e.g., by day, week, month, etc.). To help manage this, Calendar contains the Date Navigator (a graphical mini-calendar) and the TaskPad (a miniature view of the Tasks folder). Calendar makes it easy to plan and track meetings, invite attendees, allocate resources, and reschedule activities if necessary.
