Default Global change to Reminder period?

When my wife switched recently from Outlook 2000 (or 2002?) to Outlook
2003, many of her Reminder periods appear to have changed arbitrarily.
Is there a global mechanism that would enable her to change *all*
Reminder periods to "1 day"?

Are you talking about how much toime before an event that the treminder will
fire? FOr all-day events with reminders, that value is 18 hours and it is
hard-coded. For timed events, the default is whatever you set in
ToolsOptionsDefault Reminder.

Yes. I was only talking about timed events, and we had set the default
to 1 day. But my question was about changing the reminder period for
all *existing* events to 1 day -- is there a global mechanism for doing
that?

Not without third-party software or code you write yourself. There could be
an example at http://www.outlookcode.com/ and I know there are calendar tools
you cna purchase. See this for suggestions:
