What version of Outlook are you using Vicki? I use Outlook 2000
sometimes and it is easy by creating another personal folder and copying
the Calendar to it. Then take this pst file and import it into the
laptop one.

You should fix your keyboard. The Shift key or Caps Lock key is stuck.

How about signing up for something like a Google or Yahoo account -
I'm sure there's others out there too - and synchronising your Outlook
with that...
I find it works very well - and I can read/edit my Google Calendar
with my Mobile Phone and when I'm not on my own PCs like at work

Better Brian?

Easy to fix under MS Word. Don't try this under Open Office though, as
OO doesn't support Sentence or Title Case reformatting. I can't believe
those bozos at Sun are so dumb!

I don't really know why you had to insert a pathetic attempt at rubbishing
an office suite that you obviously don't use in a discussion about the CAPS
LOCK key.
You really are a MORON, aren't you?
Of COURSE Open Office can re-format text or sentences either changing the
case of the entire selection or just capitalising words.
What makes you think it can't other than the fact that you've NEVER used it?
If you are going to rubbish something then at least get your FACTS right.

I would like to be able to save my outlook calendar onto a USB
portable so I could move it from my desktop to my lap top keeping
them both up dated. Is this possible and if not totally how close
can I get?

Because I use change case daily. It isn't very hard and I don't know why
it is so hard for others.

You really are a MORON, aren't you?

Actually no! As I am a rocket scientist.

I have Open Office opened right now genius! There is no sentence case or
title case. It only sports upper or lower case and that is all. Here it
is straight from the Open Office help file.

Change Case
Changes the case of the selected characters, or if the cursor is in a
word, changes the case of all of the characters in the word.
To access this command...
Choose Format - Change Case
Open context menu (text) - choose Case/Characters

Uppercase
Changes the selected western characters to capital letters
Lowercase
Changes the selected western characters to lowercase letters.
Asian Language Support
These commands can only be accessed after you enable support for Asian
languages in Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages.
Half-width
Changes the selected Asian characters to half-width characters.
Full Width
Changes the selected Asian characters to full width characters.
Hiragana
Changes the selected Asian characters to Hiragana characters.
Katakana
Changes the selected Asian characters to Katakana characters.

Damn straight! I showed you mine. Where's yours?

Right here. Open Office 3.1.1.
From OO Help:

1.Select the text that you want to capitalize.
2.Do one of the following:
Choose Format - Change Case - Uppercase.
Choose Format - Character, click the Font Effects tab, and then select the
type of capitalization in the Effects box. "Capitals" capitalizes all of the
letters in the selection. "Title" capitalizes the first letter of each word
in the selection. "Small capitals" capitalizes every letter in the
selection, but in a reduced font size.

See the word TITLE?

Ah... after complaining for the past 10 years about this, they finally
added title case. Still missing from my OpenOffice 2.0.4 though. But I
guess we must wait another ten years for sentence case, eh?

Update: Found title case under 2.0.4. What an ordeal! Could they hidden
it any better? Still missing sentence case.

What do you mean by "sentence" case?

Easy to fix under MS Word.

You can't read newsgroups with Word. Besides, you know I was able to read it,
since I answered the question. That's not the point, as you well know.

 

[Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]]

What do you mean by "sentence" case?

"Title case", as described in what you quoted from OpenOffice, capitalizes the
first letter of every word. "Sentence case", therefore, would be capitalizing
the first letter of a sentence, not the first letter of every word in the
sentence.

The point is that it is okay to depart from the norm. That is what makes
people individuals. And when I started with computers, the ones I used
didn't even have lowercase. And what would happen if I was using one of
them in this newsgroup? People would have a fit over nothing.

And since many people have trouble with all caps, I wonder how they feel
about all lowercase? And I bet some would really freak if someone
started using StUdLyCaPs.

And my solution for people having problems with the typed text is to
convert the text with Word's change case. And that shouldn't be too hard
for most to figure out.

How? I have been trying to get OpenOffice to do this for 10 years! Yet
Word has been able to do this for as long as I can remember.

I just type a sentence. The first letter of the first word is capitalised
automatically. I type the full stop, (period) and a space, and the first
letter of the next word is capitalised....I don't have to do Shift-letter at
all...
As I said - I am using the latest version, 3.1.1.....

That indeed is handy. Although Word does that too, plus convert already
typed text. It sure would be nice if OOo had this as well. Because I use
it all of the time. I don't use it on my own typing, but on other
people's typing.

I just checked for auto formating while typing under OOo and it is here
under 2.0.4 and 2.4.0 too. Although it was turned off under 2.0.4. Also
Smart Type Assistant does this with all applications. STA only works for
while you are typing thought. It can't convert already typed text.
