Weekly Tip: SharePoint 2007
Add New Calendar Entries

Calendar lists are a communication tool that provide site visitors with information about upcoming events and activities. The Calendar list is a default content area within several of the site templates for Windows® SharePoint® Services and Microsoft Office® SharePoint® Server. Calendars can include document attachments which contain additional information related to the event. Calendar lists have three default views: a summary list view, a detail list view and a calendar view.

1. On the Home page, click the Add new event link.

2. In the Calendar: New Item dialog box, in the Title text box, enter the appropriate name.
3. In the Location text box, enter the appropriate details.
4. In the Start Time and End Time text boxes, enter the appropriate details.
5. In the Description text box, enter the appropriate details.
6. In the All Day Event group, click the check box, if appropriate.
7. In the Reoccurrence group, click the check box, if necessary, and enter the appropriate information.
8. Click the Attach File button, and then locate and open the appropriate file.

2.) Click the stencil bar containing the desired Master Shape.
3.) Click and drag the shape onto the page, and then release the mouse.
