To Drag an Appointment from Another Application to Calendar

From Mailer or File Manager, and possibly other applications, you can drag an appointment icon to Calendar to schedule it.

From Mailer

  1. In Mailer's Message Header List, click the header containing the formatted appointment.

  2. Drag the header to Calendar and drop it.

    The pointer changes to an icon representing the moving file.

    Calendar schedules your appointment and prints a message in the message area stating that the appointment was scheduled.

  3. Display the Calendar view containing the day on which you scheduled the appointment.

  4. Double-click that day to open the Appointment Editor.

    Verify that the appointment is scheduled for the correct day and time.

    For more information on using Mailer, see Chapter 8, Using Mailer.

From File Manager

If you have a file containing a formatted appointment:

  1. In an open File Manager window, navigate to a folder containing a file with a formatted appointment.

  2. With both the formatted appointment and Calendar visible on your screen, drag the formatted appointment file to Calendar and drop it.

    Calendar schedules your appointment.

  3. Double-click that day to open the Appointment Editor.

    Verify that the appointment is scheduled for the correct day and time.
