Scheduling an Appointment

In Windows Calendar, an appointment (New!) is any activity you schedule that doesn’t include other people or resources. An event is any appointment that lasts one or more full days (24-hour increments), such as a seminar, a conference, or a vacation. You enter appointment or event information in the same box; however, when you schedule an event, the All-day appointment check box is selected; the check box is cleared when you schedule an appointment. If an appointment or event recurs on a regular basis, such as a meeting, you can set the Recurrence option. If you need a reminder, you can also set the amount of time you need.
