How to Use Windows Calendar in Vista

Now you have the new Windows Vista and you are probably eager to see all that it has to offer. Windows Calendar has many capabilities that will simplify your life. Keep reading to find out how to use the calendar program in Microsoft Vista to help you manage all of your appointments and obligations.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Record the dates, times and places of your appointments and engagements. You can record the regular information such as time, date and place. To help manage your schedule on a greater level, Windows Calendar allows you to set completion deadlines for projects and their level of priority so you won't forget anything. Set the calendar to remind you when something in your schedule is approaching however far in advance you like.
2. Set up the appointments that are recurring. Enter in the information once, and set the calendar to record that same appointment repeatedly on the same date and time. This way, you save time by not having to enter the same thing many times.
3. Write emails now even if they don't need to be sent now. For example, if you want to send someone a reminder about your meeting that is four weeks away, you can write the email now. Then, set the calendar to email it when you want the person to get it and it will automatically do so.
4. Share your calendar with other people who share the same computer, even if everyone has a separate account with Windows Calendar. Using this tool, you will be able to see if appointments that you have will conflict with your son's soccer game or your daughter's dance recital, for example. Parents can even edit their children's calendar if they need to.
5. Use iCalendar to publish your calendar to the Internet. You can also export your information to and from other applications. With this feature, you can view your calendar alongside the calendars for other people or groups who have also published theirs. If you only want to let select people view your calendar, you can password protect it and designate who gets to see your schedule.
