I am using outlook contacts,when I have created a contact I can go to the
actions tab & create an appoitment with that contact, however when it creates
the appointment it does not put in the address details,the contact name
appears at the bottom of the appoitment, this means I have to copy & paste
all the contact details so they appear in the subject box and the location,
is ther an easier way to do this or can i get a programme that will do this???
|

With the folder list showing, right click the contact in the list, then
right-click and drag it to the Calendar folder. From the context menu choose
"Copy here as appointment with text". Now the new appointment form will have
the contact details filled in to the message area.

Context menu = choices you see when you right click and drag to the

If you drag it onto the date, when you release the right mouse button, you
should see several copy/move options = context menu.

How can I drag it onto the date, I said that when I drag the contact into the
calendar which is in the folder list, as you told me to, but then an
untitiled meeting box comes up,there is very little to choose from when I
right click, how can I drag it onto the date, either the calendar is open or
the contact list...this is very confusing, thank you for being patient

Mario, you need to hold down the right mouse button when you right click the
Contact. If you just right click and let go before you drag, it's not the
same. Hold down the right mouse button to click on the contact and keep
holding it down while you drag. When you release the right mouse button on
the Calendar folder, you should get the "context menu" we've been talking
about that gives you the options to copy, move, etc. Please post back and
let us know if this makes more sense to you.

Ok,thanks,I understand now, but I want the address details to go into the
location box on the calendar, what you told me to do does work but it means
that I have to open up the appoitment, I need to be able to see the name &
address on the calendar because I print this off this shows me who I am
seeing the location, do you see what I am trying to do???

There's no automatic way to do that...you will have to copy and paste into
the location box yourself.
