[buisness0243]

Earlier posts about Meeting Requests with a Preview of your Calendar and Introducing Quick Steps might have left you wondering what other improvements Outlook 2010 brings to creating and managing meetings. There are many, and I am glad to give you an overview. Here鈥檚 how they can work for you.Meeting ReplyIf an e-mail conversation gets to a point where a meeting would be more useful, just click Meeting Reply to set up a meeting with the people involved in the conversation. It will copy the content of the e-mail conversation into the meeting request,Office 2010 Pro Plus, to help keep you within the context of what has already been discussed,microsoft Office 2010 License, and add the recipients to the invitation. All you need to do is choose the time and location. Meeting SuggestionsThe new Meeting Suggestions pane helps you choose a location for the meeting and find a time that works for a majority of people. It suggests the best times to meet on a given day according to the availability of the meeting attendees. And, if you are using Exchange 2010, you can select a building and check available rooms there! Meetings without a responseLooking at your calendar,Windows 7 Activation, you may have found it difficult to differentiate between new meetings that were automatically added to your calendar and meetings you tentatively accepted. It's now easy to tell the difference: meetings that you haven鈥檛 yet responded to are dimmed and have a dashed border. Search for appointmentsYou can also search for all meetings that you haven鈥檛 yet responded to. The new Requests Not Responded To button in the Search Contextual Tab makes that a simple one-click action. It also allows searching for accepted and for tentatively accepted appointments. Contextual Tab for CalendarWhile you look at your calendar you may want to respond to some appointments, propose new times, change your free/busy status,Office 2010 Pro, or make other changes. Now you can do that without even opening a meeting. When you click on a meeting, a contextual tab appears and presents commands that are specific to a single instance or a recurring meeting. Next 7 DaysIn addition to the standard 5- and 7-day week views, there鈥檚 a new view that shows the next 7 days starting from today. Schedule ViewThe new Schedule View shows multiple calendars horizontally -- a very effective way to help teams organize meetings. The Navigation Pane now includes your team and your manager鈥檚 team by default,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, so you can look at everyone鈥檚 calendars with just one click. You can also add your own groups by clicking Open Calendar and then the Calendar Groups button. CopyNow Outlook 2010 allows you to respond to a meeting right away when you copy it from another calendar, making sure that you will be included in future updates, and the organizer is informed that you are attending. Copy Tracking StatusDo you organize big meetings with lots of attendees and you need to keep track of who is coming and who isn鈥檛? Maybe you need to reserve a conference room with a table that can accommodate the number of people who have accepted. You can now copy the response tracking status to the clipboard and paste it somewhere else, like Excel! From there you can sort and organize the data just like any other table. I hope you find these new ways of creating and handling meetings convenient and time-saving! Rainer SchillerOutlook Program Manager <div
