Moving MS Outlook Appointments

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Someone in the office today was griping about what a pain it is to change appointments in MS Outlook when the date is changed.

I showed him just how easily this can be accomplished. Suppose the time of your appointment has changed. All you have to do in your daily detail is drag and drop your appointment to the new time!  It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

So too, you can drag an appointment to a different date. Just click it and drag it to any day on the screen. If the date isn’t showing, simply drag it up to the small calendar in the corner and drop it on the date.

You will find that your appointment has been rescheduled to the new date!  I am all about saving time and keystrokes!

Using a Date Field in MS Word

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I got an e-mail from the wife of a friend of mine the other day. She was at work and wanted to know how to create an automatic date in a letter in MS Word.

  1. This is a really simple fix.  It requires the use of a field.  All you really have to do is click on Insert | Field. That will open the dialog box.
  2. Under Categories, select Date and Time.
  3. Under Field Names, highlight Create Date.
  4. On the right-hand side, select the date format of your choosing.
  5. Click on OK.

That’s it!  Presto chango!  You’re finished!

I told her that this would create a date that would remain unchanged in her document.  If you want a date that will automatically update every time you open the document, then you would choose Date.

I was really glad that I could help her as she is the wife of Dave Hartsock of http://www.davescomputertips.com.

Dave is a great guy and has helped me with my web site, http://www.carolscorneroffice.com since it’s inception – matter of fact he built it and still continues to help me with it!

I publish a bi-monthly newsletter called Carol’s Word Bytes, both a free and premium edition. Check it out if you have the chance!
