You can specify that a Calendar event will repeat according to one of seven different schedules, and then choose how the repeat will occur.
To change an event to a repeating one
1. Click the Repeats box, and then choose one of the five repeat options.
Information about your choice appears in the Repeat Description box:
To choose an end point for the repeating event
If you want the event to repeat indefinitely, in the Range section, select never ends.
-or-
If you want the event to stop on a specific date, select goes until, and then click the mini-calendar and choose an ending date.
Choosing the Frequency of a Repeating Event
For several of the Repeat options (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly), you can choose how frequently the event repeats. For example, for a Weekly event, you may want the event to occur every three weeks instead of every week.
To choose the frequency of an event
Click the Repeat every box, and then select a number.
Choosing a Day of the Week
For a Weekly event, you can choose which day or days of the week the event will repeat on. NOTE You can create the event on a specific day (which will be the first occurrence of the event), and then choose to have it repeat on a different day or days. For example, here is an event that starts on a Friday (April 18, 2008), and then repeats every Tuesday:
To choose which day(s) of the week to repeat on
In the Repeat on section, select the day(s) you want.
Choosing How a Monthly or Yearly Repeat Event is Interpreted
For the Monthly and Yearly events, a particular day can be viewed in two different ways. For example, let's say you choose an event starting on April 18, 2008, which is the third Friday in April, and have it repeat monthly. This can be viewed as "repeat on the 18th of each month" (regardless of which day of the week it falls on) or "repeat on the third Friday of the month" (regardless of the actual date). You can choose which of these interpretations to apply to an event.
To choose an interpretation
In the Repeat by section, choose day of the month or day of the week.
This will result in the following:
For a Monthly event starting on April 18, 2008:
day of the month = "repeat monthly on the 18th day of the month"
day of the week = "repeat monthly on the third Friday in the month"
For a Yearly event starting on April 18, 2008:
day of the month = "repeat annually on April 18"
day of the week = "repeat annually on the third Friday in April"
