SUMMARY
When you create an appointment with one of your contacts, you may want to refer to information stored about that contact. This article describes a quick way to access that information by adding a shortcut to the appointment.



MORE INFORMATION
To create an appointment with a shortcut to a contact, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Contacts on either the Outlook Bar or in the Folder list.
 * 2) Locate the contact that you want, and then use the drag-and-drop operation to add the contact to the Calendar on either the Outlook Bar or in the Folder list.
 * 3) Click Copy Here as Appointment with Shortcut on the shortcut menu.
