Hi,

Is there a best practice for being able to view four or five Outlook calendars at once, when I need to schedule a meeting? I have not found anything in NVDA’s user guide. Sometimes, when I view someone else’s calendar in Outlook, there is a major lag. Also, I am not familiar with how to best use the scheduling assistant, or if it is accessible.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Jason,

Upon trying your suggestion, when I moved the start time around, it said I
was free, but no information for the other attendees.

Thanks,
Mike

How do you tell when someone is out of the office? I sent my meeting notice, to get an OOO autoreply from the essential person who needs to attend.

Thanks,

The way I tend to schedule meetings is:
1. Create a new appointment in the calendar, (ex. control-n from the calendar view) 2. Use "alt-h i" key sequence to add invitees 3. enter the invitees in the to field 4. Use f6 once to move to the meeting scheduling pane.
5. Use tab 3 times to get to the ""suggested times" list 6. Then arrow up/down through the suggested times until I find the one I like best (optional_ 6B. Tab one more time to get to the calendar/date picker and left or right arrow to try a different day, then shift-tab back to step 6.
7. shift-f6 to move focus back to the meeting pane

and fill in location subject, etc...

Hope that helps. It is more manual than the scheduling assistant but feels more accessible to me.
