Import iCal calendar into Outlook 2007

Outlook 2007 supports the iCal calendar format, which lets you share your calendar with others using this format. It can also import calendars that are available in the iCal format. So, for example, if you find a calendar for your favorite TV show, sports team’s games, or even eagerly anticipated DVD releases on a site like www.iCalShare.com, you can import the calendar into your Outlook.

The items from the calendars you subscribe to appear either side-by-side or overlaid over your Outlook calendar. To subscribe to a calendar, click the ICS subscription link for the calendar on the calendar Web site and answer Yes when Outlook asks if you want to subscribe to it.

To change the calendar from side-by-side to overlay, right click the calendar in the Calendar list and choose the desired View option. Now you’ll always know what’s coming up so you can make your plans around it.
