INTRODUCTION

Outlook's Meeting Planner enables you to plan a meeting from start to finish with other attendees. You specify the attendees, determine a meeting time, check for any schedule conflicts, and even schedule a room. You also can send an email to the other attendees, inviting them to the meeting.

TIP

Meeting Times

If you didn't select the meeting time on your calendar before you opened the Meeting dialog box, you can set the meeting time on the Attendee Availability tab by selecting the start and end times.

TIP

Recurring Meetings

If a meeting you want to schedule occurs at the same time each week, click the Recurrence button on the Appointment window toolbar. The appointment will appear on your calendar at the same time and day each week.

TIP

Meeting Icons

In Calendar view, select the meeting's date on the current month calendar and then click the Day button on the Calendar toolbar. Notice that the meeting is scheduled, with a Meeting icon (two people) next to it.

TIP

Meeting Responses

Many workplaces set up Outlook so that recipients of meeting requests can choose to accept, tentatively accept, or decline your meeting request. These responses come back to you as email messages. When a recipient accepts or tentatively accepts, Outlook automatically puts the meeting on that person's calendar.
