Is there a way to share my calendar availability without providing details of
my appointments?

I use the free/busy/out of office tags, but I do not necessarliy need
everyone to know why I am busy of out of the office.

Outlook 2003, Windows XP

Also, is there a decent place to look up calendaring basics? e.g. what each
setting in the access actually does?
 
a.. Author -- Create, read, modify, and delete own items and files.
b.. Contributor -- Create items and files. This allows users to drop
items in a folder but not read them after they are dropped.
c.. Custom -- Any combination of permissions.
d.. Editor -- Create, read, modify, and delete all items and files.
e.. Non-editing Author -- Create and read items, delete own items.
f.. Owner -- Create, read, modify, and delete all items and files; create
subfolders; set permissions for other people to access the folder.
g.. Publishing Author -- Create and read items; modify and delete own
items, create subfolders.
h.. Publishing Editor -- Create, read, modify, and delete all items and
fields; create subfolders.
i.. Reviewer -- Read items.
Basically if you give them permission, they can read the content of your
meetings. With NO permissions, they just see if you are Free/Busy?Out of
Office.

So there is no method to just show my availability without the content?
Kinda like showing everything as private?
 
Is there a way to make all my appointments show as "Private" without manually
entering it?
 
Make one private, group by private field and drag the others to the Yes
group. to set all new appts private, create a custom form with the private
field checked.
