Introduction
Calendar is the calendar and scheduling component of Outlook that is fully integrated with email, contacts, and other features. There are other useful capabilities like importing externally or internally published calendars, e.g., a baseball schedule of your favourite team, or a list of tests and assignment dates for a course. For more information on publishing calendars consult this article on introduction to publishing internet calendars.
