- View instead a short screencast how to cancel meeting requests in OWA.
- Or: You start out with a meeting request conversation like this, showing:
- a request send from account LRC help (example)
- an accepted meeting response from the resource (e.g. the room) account
- to cancel that meeting, you can go to your (!) calendar in OWA,
- select (click on) the meeting and choose “delete”
- either from the context menu after right-click the meeting
- or from the ribbon after selecting the meeting
- if the meeting was repeating/recurring, you will be given the option to
- cancel this occurrence
- cancel all future occurrences
- cancel all occurrences (be CAREFUL not to delete past meetings that have taken place; cancel all future meetings in a series by updating the meeting series end time (leaves past meetings of the series intact))
- either from the context menu after right-click the meeting
- select (click on) the meeting and choose “delete”
- you can also just open the meeting and choose from the top menu the “Cancel meeting” button, then press menu button: “Send update”:
- Again, for recurring/repeating meetings, you will be asked to confirm what exactly you want to cancel, the individual occurrence or the entire series of meetings:
- Again, for recurring/repeating meetings, you will be asked to confirm what exactly you want to cancel, the individual occurrence or the entire series of meetings:
- You have the opportunity to include an informative note in your update before sending.
- After the cancellation has gone through, this is how the results will look like in the e-paper trail:
- “sent items”
- a cancelled meeting conversation in your “inbox” in “conversation view”:

LRC Outlook/Exchange 2010 Resource Calendaring: How staff view resource “Calendars from your organization” in OWA
2011/08/30

- Note: Students that have not been specifically invited to share a calendar, must use (staff may also) this approach to view calendars, to avoid a permission problem .
- Staff can load resource calendars, but as somebody who books the resource (except where you still cannot book/schedule/sign up: Tutors), you normally neither need nor want to (unless you manage the resources).
- To preview the free/busy schedule of the resource, use the scheduling assistant instead.
- To make sure that you have booked the resource, load your OWN calendar instead: Since it is you who “meets” with the resource, your meeting will be reflected on there. If you also loaded the resource’s calendar, you would see your “meeting” twice. A meeting always appears in the calendar of all “participants” – only that, other than for resource calendars, you normally do not view the calendar of the other participants who are “human resources”(or maybe you are, at least in the scheduling assistant, but not with details beyond “busy”).
- You may want to load the resource calendar to learn details about the other “meetings”of the resource (e.g. which conflicting meeting organizer you can contact in an emergency, or to know how many tentative meeting requests are already pending for a tutor). Below is how:
-
Similarly to in Outlook (desktop):
, in OWA, click on the lower left “Calendar-icon” 
to unfold the “My Calendars” list 
in the left pane, then right-click on “My Calendars”, choose “Add Calendar”
. -
put (part of) the name, click “ok”
-
if there are multiple matches, select the correct one (you can only select one at a time)
-
press “OK” again:
. -
As explained above, there is little reason to go overboard and add too many calendars, unless you have to manage:
-
However, you can also easily remove calendars, through the context menu item “Remove shared calendar”
Renaming Outlook Calendars
2010/01/06

Calendaring is still an underutilized data source, but sharing of and collaboration on calendars are picking up.
If you find yourself juggling more and more calendars of your own and others that are shared with you, you will want to organize your calendars by naming them.
In MS-Outlook, however, you may find that the renaming option is grayed out and disabled when trying to rename your Calendar: 
.
To work around this issue, do this:
-
Download the Exchange 2003 Information Store Viewer to your computer.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3D1C7482-4C6E-4EC5-983E-127100D71376&displaylang=en, unpack Mdbvu32.exe (CAUTION: THIS IS A POWERFUL UTILIITY THAT CAN ALTER YOUR DATA IN MANY WAYS, INCLUDING DELETING IT. HANDLE WITH CARE!).
-
Create an Outlook profile that can connect to the problem mailbox.[If you work on your own mailbox, you can skip this].
-
Run Mdbvu32.exe. Select the following three options and click OK: MAPI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD, MAPI_EXPLICIT_PROFILE, MAPI_NEW_SESSION
-
Make sure that the profile you have created in Step 2 [or your default profile] is selected. Click OK.
-
Click MDB -> OpenMessageStore.
-
Make sure the problem mailbox is selected and click Open.
-
Click MDB -> Open Root Folder.
-
Double-click “IPM_SUBTREE” in the left list (if for some reason you don’t see this double click each entry in the top/left until you get a folder list.)
-
Double-click the Calendar.
-
Click the “Call Function” button.
-
Click the “SetProps” button.
-
Make sure the “PR_Display_Name” is selected from the PropID list. Change its name to <whatever> in the textbox below and click the ”Add” button. You will see that the change action is added to the list. Click the “Call” button on the right-top corner to apply the change.
-
4. Click Close until you drop out of the windows, then close the MDBVU utility and OK to the logoff. From:
To: 
-
You may need to close and reopen Outlook to refresh the folder name.
-
And voilà:
I just verified this to work on MS-Outlook 2007 against MS-Exchange 2007 (and assume it to work on stand-alone PST files also), and added the screenshots to clarify this. My thanks go to user traval and MS for the heavy lifting (although I wish MS would make my lifting still easier).

PowerPoint: Can you apply a different Master Slide by “ Copy and paste a slide master from one presentation to another”
2009/09/25
Leave a comment
I am not too much into form(atting beyond what follows function), so I lifted this straight from the PowerPoint 2007 Help file – is deleting the original master slide a way/the best way to apply the new master slide to all slides? Comments (below) welcome
- “ Open both the presentation that contains the slide master that you want to copy and the presentation that you will paste the slide master to.
- In the presentation that contains the slide master that you want to copy, on the View menu, in the Presentation Views group, click Slide Master.
- In the slide thumbnail (thumbnail: A miniature representation of a picture.) pane, right-click the slide master that you want to copy, and then click Copy. Notes
- In the slide thumbnail pane, the slide master represents the larger slide image, and the associated layouts are positioned beneath it.
- Many presentations contain more than one slide master, so you may have to scroll to find the one that you want.
This list of slide layout thumbnails contains one slide master and two layouts.
- On the View tab, in the Window group, click Switch Windows, and then select the presentation that you want to paste the slide master to.
- In the presentation that you want to paste the slide master to, on the View menu, in the Presentation Views group, click Slide Master.
- In the slide thumbnail pane, to click the location where you want the slide master to reside, do one of the following:
- If the destination presentation contains a blank slide master, right-click the blank slide master, and then click Paste.
- If the destination presentation contains one or more customized slide masters, scroll to the bottom where the last slide layout resides, right-click below it, and then click Paste.
- To copy and paste additional slide masters, follow steps 1 through 6.
- On the Slide Master tab, in the Close group, click Close Master View.” (PowerPoint 2007 Help – press F1).
