Disable creation of appointment when typing into Outlook calendar
- by Alexander L. Belikoff
Outlook (both 2010 and 2007) has a "feature" that creates an appointment if I type some text while the calendar window has focus. This keeps biting me every now and then when I erroneously have focus on the calendar window and start typing. To me, this feature is twice as annoying:
There is no easy way to escape out of it - I end up using mouse to select the newly created bogus event and then to delete it.
Sometimes, if the focus is on an already existing event, such spurious typing changes the text without an easy way to undo.
Question: is there a way to make Outlook stop creating/modifying events upon typing, forcing me instead to double click an event or Ctrl-N in order to process my input?
