MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2008Need a simple/quick reminder function
Please add a reminder function: easily available like creating a note, but that acts like a personal zero-duration appointment. It takes way too many keystrokes to do it manually using the appointment process. Ideally a hot key combination would bring up a window with clickable timeline, calander and text field, no clutter. Provide a <Private> click box, but I should be able to set a default.

Another quick reminder method is flags - set a flag on any item. Assuming Outlook 2007, you can right click on the flag field and choose Custom. Type a note in the Follow up field and set the date and reminder time.

While I'm not trying to disparage your suggestion, there are so many free reminder tools available for download from the Internet that I'd rather the Outlook team spend its time on more productive features.
