		PRE-EXISTING MyTimeManager FEATURES

With the MyTimeManager application running, you have instant access to calendar views spanning hours, days, weeks, months, and years.  Changes are immediately reflected in all views of your schedule.  MTM checks for meeting conflicts and overlaps, and will optionally seek out and schedule a later or earlier time that is free .  

A variety of scheduling tools ease the task of entering events.  Dates can be specified as Today, Tomorrow, or Next Friday, for instance, or you can point and click to select the appropriate date in a perpetual calendar.  If you prefer to type in a date or time, you can do that too:  data entry is simple, straight forward, and flexible.  Commonly used date and time formats, including abbreviations and 24 hour time, are accepted.  MTM allows the International user to enter and display dates and times in their local format.  

In addition:

o  A "To Do" list displays "All Items", "Open Items", or "Done Items" and can be sorted and printed by due date, priority, category, or modification date.

o  "Busy-ness Highlighting"ª indicates how "busy" each day is.

o  Copy and paste commands let you exchange data between MTM and electronic mail.

o  The "Find" command lets you rapidly find text containing phone numbers, names, addresses, or meeting notes.

o  A World Time Zone dialog let's you determine the time in major cities throughout the world.
