Change Calendar Default Reminder Time

SUMMARY: Give yourself more time when Outlook 2007 reminds you of upcoming appointments.

By default, when you add an appointment in the Calendar of Microsoft Outlook 2007, Outlook provides a 15 minute reminder for the meeting, although this can be changed on a per-meeting basis.

If you frequently need more reminder time and don't want (or forget) to change each appointment reminder manually, you can change Outlook's default:

1. Select "Tools" - "Options".

2. The "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears. Click the "Preferences" tab.

3. Underneath "Calendar", make sure "Default Reminder" is checked.

5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
