Recurring Calender events and alarms

S

Samuel Weidenbach

Hello,

I am trying to switch to entourage from Ical. I am a student so I set up
all my classes as recurring events every week. With Ical I can set up notes
and alarms for a single day (EX. If I have a test or quiz that particular
day of class) But with entourage if I try to modify a single event in the
series it will only let me change the start or end times it wont let me add
a note or alarm unless I choose to modify the whole series. Does anyone know
if it is possible to add a note or alarm to a single event in a series?

Thanks,
Sam

No it's not. The best you can do is keep adding to the note, dating the
occurrence you need, e.g.:

1/27/04 : Paper 1 due
2/2/04 : Paper 2 due

etc.

I've been thinking about making a script that would "expand" recurring
events into separate non-recurring events on the same schedule. It wouldn't
be trivial though.
