I just started using Outlook Calendaring 2007 after using MS Works 6, from
which I imported reminders. I just discovered that things like birthdays in
Outlook 2007, which I had
setup in Works 6.0 to occur once a year, are setup to occur weekly in
Outlook Calendar. How do I fix this?

Open them and reset the occurrence?

Is there no way to have them imported correctly so that I don't have to go
to the trouble of reseting the recurrences for all those reminders?

To the best of my knowledge, no. Depending on the file format of the export
from works, you can edit it in excel or notepad before importing and make
the dates and occurrences correct.

You can create a table view that shows just the items modified at the time
of the import - this may make it easier to make changes.

Can you tell me how to create the table view in Calendar that you are
talking about?

View, Current view, All appointments or one of the By views... or Define
views and create one from scratch. Use Customize (same menu) to set up
filters.
