If you find yourself switching back and forth between two views – such as calendar and mail, for example – you might want to consider keeping each view open in a separate window, which you can then arrange side by side. I personally find that this greatly simplifies my work flow as I can easily drag contacts or e-mail messages directly to my calendar using this configuration.
To open a view or folder in a new window, right-click on the item (the calendar button, for example) and then click “Open in New Window”.
To make your screens even more uncluttered, you can also hide the Navigation Pane and the Ribbon.

Outlook allows you to share the details of your calendar by E-mail. This can include appointments for today, tomorrow, the next 7 days, next 30 days or during a specific date range. You can even e-mail someone your entire calendar! The calendar is saved as an iCalendar file which your recipient can easily import into Outlook.
To Share a Calendar by E-mail:
- Open the calendar that you wish to share.
- Click the E-mail Calendar button on the Share group of the Ribbon.
- Click the Date Range drop-down list and chose the range of dates that you would like your calendar attachment to include.
- Click the Advanced button to set additional privacy options.
- Click OK. Outlook will prepare an e-mail message with the calendar file attached.
- Enter the e-mail details and send the message.
Applies to Outlook 2010
