OfficeTalk lets you set a reminder on any appointment so that you are alerted prior to the start of the appointment. There are two ways to set a reminder:
The first way is to bring up the Appointment property sheet and check the Remind check box in the Details page and specify the amount of warning that you require.
· Another way is to select the appointment and press the {bmct help0029.bmp} button above the Daily Appointments window. This will add a reminder to the appointment. You will be reminded 5 minutes before the appointment is due to start. You may change the default advance remind time from 5 minutes to a time of your choice by modifying the Default Remind Time field in the Diary page of the Preferences dialog box. You can do this by selecting Preferences… in the Options menu.
In both cases, a {bmct help0030.bmp} symbol is shown on the appointment to indicate that a reminder is set for this appointment.
When the time comes, OfficeTalk will remind you of the appointment by displaying a message box. You may choose not to remind yourself again about this appointment by selecting the Do not remind again radio button or you may change the remind time for the appointment so that you are reminded again, nearer the start of the appointment. Do this by selecting the Remind again radio button and specifying a new remind time. Press OK for your choice to take effect. If you chose the Do not remind radio button, the {bmct help0031.bmp} symbol is removed from the appointment.
