I'm using MS Outlook. Here's an example of what I need to do: Enter an event
on Tuesday of this week, copy it to Friday of this week, Wednesday of next
week, and so on. I've been using Palm Desktop and it has a provision for this
kind of "repeat event", but I can't find a way to do this in Outlook.
 
While creating the item click the Recurrence button to set the way you'd
like your event to repeat.
 
Or, you can right click and drag the appointment to the preferred date in
the Date Navigator. Release and select Copy.

You can also use WS Repeat Appointment (google for it) to set a non-standard
recurring appointment. It works quite well and is worth the purchase price.

I just went through a roundabout way of copying a year of scheduled meetings
by e-mailing the first one to myself, then importing it 11 times, to change
the dates and times. YOur suggestion sounds a lot simpler that what I did.
this may be a dumb question but what is the "Date Navigator?" I could find
no reference to it in OL 2003 help.

Under the View Menu, select the option to show the Taskpad. This will open
a third column at the right of your calendar view with mini-calendars (Date
Navigator) and a taskpad view.

Using the Date Navigator and the Ctrl/click combination you can show the 5
days you want to put your apt. on and then as Millie described, right drag
it to each day, release and select "Copy".
