Default Create Outlook Calendar Template

Here's how I'd like to use Outlook 2003's Calendar. This is for
personal, not enterprise use.

I've created a weekly calendar template in a new pst file that
organizes each day of the week in a standardized way. My schedule,
however, is such that frequent variations from the standard are
necessary.

What I'd like to be able to do is to copy the entire week's events
from the template to my day-to-day working calendar. I can then make
changes as the events of each day dictate.

In other words, I want to copy and paste a whole week's events (or at
least a whole day's events) from the template to the same time slots
in the working calendar.

Outlook doesn't seem to provide an easy way to do this. I can copy one
event at a time fairly easily, but selecting more than one is very
tricky and cumbersome.

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this? Is there an add-on that might
facilitate using Outlook's Calendar this way?

Thanks in advance,
Pic

Default Create Outlook Calendar Template

If you Ctrl Click a week of meetings from your "template" calendar (for want
of a better description) you can then drag them to the real Calendar and
release. Select Move or Copy (whichever you wish). Make sure to click on
the coloured bar on the left edge of each meeting to select it rather than
edit it.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Default Create Outlook Calendar Template


Thanks for this Judy. I actually stumbled across that solution myself.
The only problem with it is that it's cumbersome. Control clicking on
fifteen items seven times is a chore, and it's not difficult to aim
badly and lose the selection. If only there were a "Select all" or
"Import" feature! But there isn't, and that's why I'm hoping there's
an add-on that will provide this functionality.
