    - Reminders disappearing Part II I had an issue with Outlook reminders (posted a few weeks back) where my reminders on my Outlook 2003 machine (cached mode) disappeared if I simultaneously opened Outlook 2007 (non-cached) on another machine. On the advice of two Outlook MVP's I upgraded my Outlook 2003 machine to 2007, and I get the same issue: *Create calendar item on machine #1, reminder window appears *If I open Outlook 2007 on machine #2, the reminder disappears For fun I created a calendar item on machine #2-- and the reminders don't pop-up at all! When I create and save a caledar item and re-open it, the reminder setting is blanked. On machine #1 I launched Outlook with /resetreminders, when that didn't work I used /resetfolders, but I get the same behavior. Any ideas? - Bill Tag: how do i setup a defult category in outlook calendar itens? Tag: 97681

    - create calendar form to print to dayplanner I have Outlook 2003, which has many appointments, birthdays, etc on the calendar. I would like to print calendar pages from it to put in a day planner (like Day Timer, Franklin Covey, et al), but to also include on each day an excel spreadsheet type form to track/record certain items on a daily basis and room for journaling, notes, etc. With all I'm trying to track and journal daily, it would probably have to be one (5.5" x 8.5") page per day, printed landscape - 2 to a regular 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. Can this be done? And if so, how? As always, thanks in advance for all assistance. Tag: how do i setup a defult category in outlook calendar itens? Tag: 97678

    - show more items in my calendar for each day, monthly view I was happier with my old outlook calendar, because when I printed out a month in view, I could see most if not all the calendar items. with 2007/Vista, the headings and numbers etc take up so much room, you can't see as many items. even when I change the font, the actual space that a calendar item takes up doesn't change. is there a way to change this, or go back to the old calendar format?

    - Save As / HTML: can format/style be changed? I realize there are WYSIWYG limits as to how Outlook 2007 can export a calendar into web format, but I was asked if there's a way to change the default color schemes and some of the font types. In Outlook, the Calendar appears really nice when it's native. However, when exported to HTML the 'teal on dark teal' Win 3.11 theme along with fonts leave a bit to be desired. Trying to avoid an HTML editor here if there's an easier way to get an exported Calendar to look closer to when it's native viewed. Tag: how do i setup a defult category in outlook calendar itens?

    - How can I activate reminders in imported calendar pst file?

But I want it to become my default "calendar" file and I can't find how to replace the original default that was set up when new Outlook first ran.

    - Create a work task calendar with only M-F and recurring events Excell 2002. I want to create an office task calendar. The tasks would be recurring events. The recurrent rate would be based upon the number of people who can do the task. There would be three different tasks, each with its own rate of recurrence. I want to create a work week calendar that only contains monday through friday, as I've found trying to work with the inclusion of saturday and sunday really reeks havoc when trying to coordinate a recurrent event based on a five day week into a seven day week. Eliminating the weekends in the calculation would seem to simplify things. The format of the calendar should be easily read by workers in cubicles. And, hopefully, the recurring event need only be entered once and maybe easily edited if need be. -- johnp Tag: how do i setup a defult category in outlook calendar itens? Tag: 97617

    - Outlook 2007 Group Scheduler I have an Exchange 2003 environment with clients running Outlook 2003 and upgrades to 2007 running. In one office, the entire suite moved to Outlook 2007. Now some of the users group scheduling windows cause Outlook to crash and restart. Others work normally. The crash occurs when you try to view an individual's calendar via the group scheduling window by clicking on the fiel folder icon next to their name. The window for the calendar will open and allow the user to view it, but when they try to close that view, Outlook hangs for about 15-30 seconds then announces that there is a problem and allows you to send a report to Microsoft. After this completes, Outlook opens again and works normally until you repeat the process. Office SP1 has been applied and that does not make any difference. Windows and Office have been patched by means of Microsoft Update. This is getting very frustrating and I cannot find anything similar on any forum, newsgroup or knowledge base.

    - Synchronization is happening one direction only I use Microsoft Outlook 2003, HP iPAQ h2215, and ActiveSync 4.5 for my calendar. When I create an appointment on Outlook and attempt to synchronize (by right-clicking the ActiveSync icon in the notification area and selecting Sychronize), it does not get sent to my iPAQ. However, if I create an appointment on my iPAQ, it successfully synchronizes automatically. But even after the appointment(s) created on my iPAQ get synced into Outlook, the appointment(s) created in Outlook still aren't synced to my iPAQ. It's almost as if ActiveSync doesn't realize that appointments created in Outlook are supposed to get synchronized. Is there something I need to do that I could be forgetting?

Why not just enter the category when you create the item?

Hi,
Because every item in the Calendar that must be sincronized w/ our CRM
system need a determined category, and is easier to remove category in the
ones that are exceptions then enter it on all others. This is why I asking in
how to put a categoty as default in all new itens in calendar.
