Calendar New Entries Preferences

To set your preferences for new Events, go to Office > Preferences, and click New Entries under the Calendar heading.

You can specify the following settings in the New Entries view:

The default type (Appointment or To Do) for new Events. Note that this default will be applied only when the context does not otherwise call specifically for a To Do or Appointment.
The length of time assigned by default in new Appointments. Note that, regardless of this setting, Appointments created by drawing a new Appointment box (or simply clicking) in the graphical section of a Calendar view have a default minimum length of 15 minutes.
The Time Zone assigned by default in new Appointments.
The Priority assigned by default in new To Do's, and whether the Priority level should be raised progressively.
The Category assigned by default in new To Do's.
The Firm Members assigned by default to new Events. Click the Select People button to change the list.
The File assigned by default to new Events. Click the Select Files button to change the File. This setting may be useful if you work for an extended period on a single matter.
How the date of an occurrence of a Repeating Event is rescheduled if it falls on a weekend or holiday—set by default in new Events.
How the date of a dependent Linked Event is rescheduled if it falls on a weekend or holiday—set by default in new Links.
How the Deadline of a To Do is rescheduled if it falls on a weekend or holiday.
Whether you want Appointment Reminders sent and, if so, as Reminder Alerts or E-mails to who (Author, Firm Members, Contacts, or Everyone), how long in advance—all set by default in new Appointments.
Whether you want Event Change Notifications sent and, if so, as Sticky Notes or E-mails to the Firm Members—all set by default in new Events.
Whether you want new Appointments automatically flagged for exchange by the Google Contacts & Calendar Link. For more information, see Google - Contacts & Calendar Link setup.
