Can I import someone else's calendar as my default calendar?

[Guest]

I am a teacher and am annually in receipt of a calendar from my school that
lists all meeting and target dates for the school year (there are hundreds).
My own appointments are few in comparison so I was hoping to make the school
calendar my default and receive reminders through outlook of them. Is this
possible? Failing that is it possible to merge the school calendar with my
own? I have had messages when I have tried this telling me that repeats will
not be accepted which defeats the object rather.

For the first question, no, you cannot make it your default.

For the second, display the school calendar in a By Category view, select all, right click and drag to your default Calendar folder. Select Move or Copy as you wish.
