Linking events to other calendars
 

My company has a master calendar for all events and appointments. I want to
create a second calendar which will "pull out" certain of those events -
defined by "category" - so that my second calendar's duplicate events will be
automatically updated when an event is changed on the master calendar. Is
there a way to do this without creating another user?

I'm not sure how another user would make a difference.... but no, you can't
do it using Outlook's native capabilities. Can you use the same calendar and
create a filter for the categories?

Thanks, Diane! The main reason I was creating the additional calendar is to
try to get around the way Outlook prints calendars. I downloaded a macro that
pulls events and appointments from Outlook into a Word document, where I can
format the info more easily, but it pulls ALL of the events with no
filtering. Therefore, I was pulling events off the master calendar into a
second one so I could use that macro.

I do use the filter for categories to display the events I want on the
master calendar, but the dearth of options in printing from Outlook makes the
printed results very cumbersome. I'm still looking for a different macro. I
may have to learn to write macros from scratch!

you could filter and copy the items to a new folder for the merge into
word - or edit the word macro to filter.

are you using one of the word templates from
