How to select a group of itens?

Let's suppose that I have 10 compromisses for Wednesday.
But then I have to travel and can not do the tasks that
day. I want then to move the 10 compromisses to Friday.
The problem is that I could not find a way to selec the 10
compromisses using for example, selecting the first item +
SHIFT. This does not work because only 1 item is selected.
How can I select all the 10 compromisses? Thanks.
 
Switch to a table view of your Calendar folder, such as By Category, and
then you should be able to use the SHIFT or CTRL keys to select multiple
items.

OK, switching to By Category view it is possible to select
multiple items, but how to move the items I selected?
I tried selecting multiple items and using EDIT, COPY (or
CUT) and then opening the default table of view
(day/week/month) and pasting in another date but what
happened is that the items are pasted only in the same
date where they came from!
Maybe there is another way to solve the problem.
I am using the OFFICE XP version, maybe the OFFICE 2003
does not have this problem, do you know?
What I suggest to Microsoft is that in the default view of
Calendar (day/week/month) be possible to select multiple
items and to move them easily to another date.
 
You're right -- I didn't think that one through before posting. Sorry
for the bad info. The only way I could think of to do this in Outlook
2002 would be to create a custom view where you group by the start date,
then move the items from one date group to another...but if there are
currently no items on the date you're trying to move to, there wouldn't
be a group, so you'd have to create a dummy item and then move the items
to that date. Not a very good workaround if you have to do this a lot.

I don't know if there is any better way to do this in Outlook 2003 -- I
don't have it installed right now. I know you can have multiple
calendars open at once on the screen, but I don't know if you can have
multiple views of the same calendar. If I find out anything that will
help you, I'll let you know.

Thank you very much, Jocelyn.

I am going to buy Office 2003! I hope the Microsoft team
could see the problem and solve it in the new version of
Outlook, because it is very important the calendar have
the hability to move multiple items from one day to
another.
If the problem still exists in Outlook 2003, then it is a
good ideia the first service pack solve the problem.
If you find anything please let me know. I will do the
same.
