Do an control 2 to open the calendar in Outlook.
Do an alt v for the view menu and press enter on arrange by submenu. Arrow up to current view sub menu and press enter. Arrow down to active appointment and press enter.

To begin using the calendar, you can add appointments one of two ways.
While in the calendar folder, you can do a control n for new appointment, or if you are in the box, you can do a control shift a. This will open up the dialogue for a new appointment. The first field is, subject. Type in the subject of the appointment and press your tab key. The next field is for location. Type in the location of the appointment. After you have used the calendar a few times, this will be a list box and you can arrow down to a location you have already put in.

Tab again to label. Use your down arrow to the proper label for this appointment and press your tab key. The next field is the start date of the appointment. It will default to the current date. If this is not the date you want, you can type it in by using the format of: MM/DD/YY. Tab again to the time. This will default to the current time in 30 minute intervals. For example, if it is currently 2:15 PM, it will say, 2:30 PM. You can use your down or up arrow to select the time in 30 minute intervals, or just type in the time not to forget to put an A or P afterwards to denote AM or PM. Tab once more to the end date. If the appointment ends on the same day, then tab again to end time. If it is a different date, then type it in using the same format as before. For the end time, you can use your up or down arrow to the end time, or again, just type it in.

The next field is a check box for an all day event. This is for when you are going to be gone overnight and it will overwrite the times you have entered in and default them to midnight of the first day and midnight of the last day. If you want this, just press your space bar. Tab again to reminder. If you want a reminder, press your space bar to check it. It might already be checked by default depending on how you have your settings made in email preferences in Outlook. Tab again and it will ask you for a reminder time. You can use your up or down arrow to select the amount of time before you want to be reminded of the appointment. I think it goes up as far as 2 weeks ahead of time. Tab one more time and you will be on a reminder sound button. This is where you can select the sound you want to be played. By default it is, reminder.wav. But you can tab to browse and select your own sound. Note: If you dont' check, play a sound, you won't have these last 2 options. Tab once more and your will have a selection of, show time as. You have a choice of, busy, tentative, out of office or free. Just use your arrow key to select one. Tab once more and it will say, notes. Here you can type in any notes you have about the appointment. When you are finished you will need to do an alt S to save.

Note: If you want to share this appointment with someone else using Outlook, you will need to do it before closing out the appointment. Do an alt A for action, and then the letter N for invite. Type in the recipients address and do an alt s to send the appointment to them. This will also close out the calendar. If you are back in the in box, go to the calendar by doing a control 2. You can arrow up and down to the appointments and press enter on the one you want to read by pressing your shift tab. To get out of the calendar, do a control shift I and it will take you back to the in box. You can also set up reminders on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis. For example you can put in birthdays and be reminded of those birthdays every year. To do this, after making the appointment, do a control g and follow the prompts by tabbing through the fields.
