Outlook 2007, calendaring, PRIVATE flag

[Guest]

I am using the trial version of O 2007. New appointments have the privacy
flag set by default. Is there a way I can prevent this so that I don't have
to make an extra click for every item I create?
Thanks,
Nigel Barton

Turn off the Global setting.

- Select the TOOLS menu
- Select OPTIONS...
- From the Preferences tab click the E-MAIL OPTIONS... button
- Click the ADVANCED E-MAIL OPTIONS... button

Near the bottom of the window is the "When sending a message" area.
Change the "Set sensitivity:" to NORMAL.

Nikki,
thanks for your reply. However, it hasn't worked. The setting was infact
Normal. I set it to Private, reloaded Outlook, set it back to Normal,
reloaded and so on but the new appointments still have Private flag set. One
other annoyance is that its category is Personal. Is there a way I can change
whatever template is being used to create the new appointment?

Do you use Outlook at work or home?
Have you created a Template for your appointments?

to remove the private flag from many at once, group by the private field and
drag the ones in the private: yes group into the private: no group.
