information in the box that I have highlighted in red. |

Atlanta, etc.). |

Time may be filled in by clicking the drop-down arrows and then
navigating to the desired setting. |

drop-down arrow next to 15 minutes and have the Reminder sent earlier. |
| Show time as: has 4 options available: Free, Tentative,
Busy, or Out of Office. It is important to know
that, for the purpose of using Outlook to schedule meetings, Free is
the only option that leaves you available to be scheduled in a meeting. The
other options will all make you unavailable for meetings. |

times and change the dialog box from an Appointment to an Event. |
| Categories may be assigned with the
button on the bottom line. |

to your Calendar. Unless you specifically designated them to be able to view
your Private items, they will only know if you are Free or Busy. |
