When Outlook 2010 Calendar is opened, this is the window that is displayed. The example below is opened in Week view. Ribbon Navigation Pane Appointment Area To-Do Bar Task Pane Ver Page 5 pstrain@uakron.edu

6 Ribbon In Outlook 2010, the Ribbon will now be displayed and used. This replaces the Menus from previous versions. The Ribbon is where you will find the commands for actions in Outlook. They are grouped by association for ease of use. Navigation Pane The Calendar Navigation Pane only shows information that is needed and is used for your Calendar. You can use the Navigation Pane to open Calendars (for which you have permissions), to share your Calendar, or to send a Snapshot of your Calendar via to another user. The Date Navigator will only display in this pane if the To-Do Bar is closed. Appointment Area This area displays your Appointments, Meetings, and Events. Task Pane The Task Pane allows you to track your work through the use of Tasks. Any Task that has been completed will appear marked out. Tasks not yet completed will be carried over to the next day. This pane only displays in Day and Week view. If you want to turn this pane off, go to the View tab and select the Daily Task List button, Off. To-Do Bar The To-Do Bar integrates your Tasks, messages flagged for follow-up, upcoming Appointments, and Calendar information in one convenient place. This pane gives you a glance at your priorities for the day. The To-Do Bar remains the same as in the Outlook Mail view. Ver Page 6 pstrain@uakron.edu

7 3. The To-Do Bar is divided into three components: Date Navigator Appointment Section Task Input Panel Date Navigator: Allows you to quickly go to any date, in your Outlook Calendar, with a single click. Appointment Section: Shows your next several Appointments (or Meetings). To go to a specific item in your Calendar, double click the banner. Task Input Panel: You can create new Tasks in the Type a New Task field at the top of this component. This panel also displays existing Tasks and items that have been flagged for follow-up. Ver Page 7 pstrain@uakron.edu

8 Some additional notes for the To-Do Bar: To add or remove the To-Do Bar from the view, go to the View tab and then to the To-Do Bar button (Minimized or Off). From this button you can also customize the To-Do Bar by removing one of the three components (Date Navigator, Appointment Section, or Task Input Panel). Simply uncheck the item from the menu option to remove it from the To-Do List view. To customize the To-Do Bar even further, select Options from the shortcut menu in the previous bullet.

The pointer will become a double arrow. Drag the double arrow cursor to the right or left as desired. Ver Page 8 pstrain@uakron.edu

9 The Ribbon & Backstage View The Ribbon replaces the menus and toolbars that we used in previous versions of Outlook The Ribbon is divided into several command tabs, such as File, Home Send/Receive, Folder and View. Each command tab hosts tools and links related to its name. By categorizing and grouping the actions that you take when working in Office, it makes it easier to find the tool that you need. The organization of the Ribbon makes it possible to find the tool even when you are not sure what it is called. In previous versions of Office, you needed to menu surf and drill down in dialog boxes, searching for the appropriate choice. New in Office 2010, is the File tab also referred to as Backstage view. The new Backstage view replaces the traditional File menu and provides one space to manage and customize your Outlook account.
