Simple SharePoint Meeting Agenda that Calculates End Times
Here's a simple solution to something that for a long time has had me saying, "There must be a better way."
Over the years, as a business analyst, project manager, facilitator, manager, and trainer, I have run a lot of meetings and built a lot of agendas. Typically, my agendas include a table...
I like to have the start and end time to make it easier to keep on track. So that's great, but the challenge of course is when you are building the agenda and moving things around, or trying to make the meeting fit a certain overall duration. There's a lot of calculating and recalculating. I have tried variations of this, and even developed an Excel spreadsheet to calcuate the times based on duration. But I don't want to use Excel, I want to use SharePoint!

Instructor's Tip:
Outlook 2003 & 2007
Tired of looking at the same tiny Arial or Calibri font when composing emails? Want your emails to stand out from the others? Need to save time by not changing your font and size EVERY time you write an email?
Follow this simple How-To and customize the look of your composed messages!
How to Change the Default Font and Size of in Outlook
1. Under the 'Tools' menu, click on 'Options'.
2. Click 'Fonts' under 'Stationary and Fonts'.
3. 2007 - Use the 'Font' buttons under 'New Mail Messages', 'Replying or forwarding messages', and 'Composing and Reading Plain Text Messages' to customize your desired fonts, sizes,a and styles. Click 'OK'.
2003 - Use 'Choose Font' for 'When Composing a new message:' 'When replying and forwarding:' and 'When composing and reading plain text:'. Click 'OK'. If stationary is defined to be used by default under 'Use this stationary by default:', the font specified in it may override the font you have just specified. Either choose '<none>' as the default stationary, adapt the stationary to include your favourite font, or make outlook ignore the font specified in stationary altogether. Click 'OK' again.
