Copying Event Descriptions
You can use the Copy function on the Edit menu to copy a block of text
from one event and paste it onto another. This is handy when you are
scheduling the same sort of event on many different days.
"
To copy part of an event description:
1. Select the text you want to copy.
2. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
3. Locate the area where you wish to place the copied text. This can be any
event on the same or different day. You can even create a new event.
4. When you come to the place where you want to place your duplicate
text, click to place the insertion point, then choose Paste from the Edit
menu. The information is pasted at the location of the insertion point.
Scheduling Repeating Events
You might have events that happen regularly, such as school board
meetings every Thursday at 4:00. In Planner, you only need to schedule
the event once. Planner then remembers to schedule these meetings for
you every Thursday at 4:00. Repeating events are useful for appointments
that occur at regular intervals. Examples of repeating events can be a
birthday, a weekly meeting, a holiday that falls on the same day every
year, or a reminder that parent-teacher night is the second of each month.
You can schedule an event that repeats in one of the following ways:
S
Weekly. A weekly event occurs on the same day every week, such as
every Wednesday.
S
Monthly by date. A monthly by date event occurs every month on the
same numbered day, such as the first or the fifteenth of every month.
S
Yearly by date. A yearly by date event occurs once a year on the same
date, such as a birthday or a holiday.
S
Monthly by day. A monthly by day event occurs every month on the
same day of a particular week, such as every third Sunday.
S
Yearly by day. A yearly by day event occurs once a year on the same
day of a particular week in a particular month, such as the first Sunday
in March.
When you schedule a repeating event, it appears in the Events window on
the days for which it applies. You can also edit an individual occurrence of
a repeating event, changing its text description or time. Once you edit the
event, that particular occurrence is no longer considered a repeating event,
but is now just one of the regular events for that day. All other occurrences
of the repeating event are unaffected.
