Using the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Calendar is a big step toward efficient time management. Earlier in this book, you learned how to enter and update various types of appointments in your calendar. To make your calendar work more effectively for you, and to simplify the process of finding the information you need, you can refine the default calendar settings.

In this chapter, you will learn about the different ways you can display calendar information. Then you will print daily and monthly calendars and attach calendar information to an e-mail message. Finally, you will link to a public calendar on the Internet and experiment with the different ways you can display and move between calendars. You also learn how to add region-specific holidays to your calendar, configure Outlook for use in multiple time zones, save information from your Calendar as a Web page, and create a OneNote page linked to a Calendar item, as well as ways in which you can delegate control of your calendar to another person or manage a calendar on behalf of another person.
