Default Adding Contact Info to Appointments in Microsoft Outlook

Hello,

I am very dissapointed that in Outlook 2007 I can no longet drag a contact
over to my calendar to create an appointment. What is Microsoft thinking by
de-featuring an upgrade!

Now I have to open the contact and got to the Move To menu and chose copy to
and the choose calendar. Then I have to close the contact... what a hassle!

Am I missing something or did Microsoft blow this?

Thanks!

G'Day Amanda,

The following applies to Outlook 2003:

View your Contacts, then click 'Folder List' to see:
Folder list at Left, Contacts in main window centre&right.

With the RIGHT Mouse button, drag a Contact and drop it on
the 'Calendar' Folder.

In the option menu that appears, select 'Copy here as Appointment with Text'

Does this help?

I need to have the address and phone number automatically entered into a
field in my appointments, and be seen when I print out the calendar page.
Currently I must type everything I want seen on the print out into the
subject field or the location field. Is there anyway to click a button
somewhere to attach the info and make it visible on the print out without
having to go through wasting my time typing everything over and over
everytime i set an appointment?

I don't know Milly, that's why I asked.

Do you know something that I don't?

If so, why don't you share?

Thanks!

dragging creates a meeting request here - I drag it to the button and drop.

btw - you should be able to select the contact and use the Edit menu for
copy - no need to open.
