outlook should allow for Fifth Week

There are several instances where we use the reoccurance to schedule dates
and some of those dates fall on the fifth week of a month. While "Last Week"
functions for most instances, "Fifth Week" is a requirement for those months
longer than others. Outlook currently makes it impossible to make reoccuring
appointments for the fifth week.

How would that be different from last? I cannot really come up with an
example for which it wouldn't work.

An example: I am currently meeting with someone on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th
Tuesdays of each month. If there are not five Tuesdays in a given month,
then we will only meet twice that month. If I select "last", then every
month with only four Tuesdays will show that I should meet on the 4th
Tuesday, which is not correct. The only way I know to represent this pattern
in Outlook is to do it manually, which is an exceptionally poor option.
