You can enter and track appointments, meetings, and tasks using the Microsoft Outlook Calendar component. You can use Calendar in conjunction with other components of Outlook to help manage all of your information. Calendar items are saved in the Calendar folder, which you can access through the Calendar pane. You can open the Calendar pane from the Folder Pane or the Go To command (Ctrl-2). The Calendar pane opens to display the Date Navigator , a small monthly calendar at the top of the Folder Pane, and the current calendar view in the right pane. The default calendar view is the Day view, which displays time slots for the current date. The time slots can be used for scheduling appointments and meetings. The buttons on the toolbar can be used to change the calendar view. The Daily Task List is displayed below the Calendar . The Date Navigator above the Folder Pane displays calendar months in traditional calendar format with the current date highlighted. You can use the Date Navigator to display other days, months and years. Depending on your screen resolution and the width of the Folder Pane, the Date Navigator may display one, two, or more small calendar months.

The Calendar pane

NOTE The Reading Pane does not appear in the Calendar pane, but can be turned on. When it appears, it displays the details of the currently selected appointment/meeting. You may need to resize the Reading Pane to view all the appointment details.
