most often. In Outlook 2007, simply drag-and-drop events on the calendar to

change time or date.



Notice beneath the calendar on the right-hand side are recommended

times and dates. It informs you of times that participants are free for a

meeting and the number of “required” participants compared to

“non-required,” or optional participants that would be able to attend.

Create a Meeting Request When you create a meeting request, use the Scheduling Assistant to view an

outline of the schedule for each invitee to a meeting. Keep in mind, the
