Outlook appointment default open in series for reminders

Question

I use outlook appointments to keep brief notes on my classes, I have a reminder on the classes when it is scheduled to start. When I double click on the reminder it opens the single instance of the event not the series, I need to be able to get the series open (so I can easily see what we have done already). Is there a way of doing this without closing the reminder, going to the calendar, double clicking and choosing series?

Also is there a way of making the default opening of an appointment go to series?

Thanks

(I'm using 2010, but I guess it is a universal 'feature')

Answer 1

This is how to do it in Outlook 2010:

1. Open the appointment instance from the reminder
2. Click "Appointment Occurrence" tab
3. Click "Edit Series".

The full recurring appointment can now be edited.
