Subscribe to a Calendar in Outlook
To stay informed with the happenings of your community group or sport club, you can subscribe to an internet calendar in Outlook. This will allow you to keep up with the schedule, but also any changes that happen to the calendar. Simply importing calendar entries will not accomplish the task.
Don't Import Your Calendar
Importing a calendar via an .ics file, for example, will most certainly give you the meetings in your calendar. However, if the creator of the calendar makes changes to the meetings in the calendar, you will not receive the updates.
Outlook supports both left-to-right and right-to-left calendar layouts. This layout affects the Day/Week/Month views. The right-to-left calendar layout displays days in the weekly and monthly views in mirror image view compared to left-to-right layout. The first day of the week shows on the right, and days increment as you go to the left. Outlook.com is a free personal email service from Microsoft that doesn't scan your email for the purpose of serving you ads. Automatically file emails and share photos easily.
Outlook Makes Subscribing Easy

To create a new calendar:
- Click Calendar in the left hand side windowpane.
- Underneath My Calendars, right click on Calendar and then select “New Calendar” from the menu.
- The “Create New Folder” dialog box will pop up, and here is where you can name your new calendar.
- Make sure it says “Calendar Items” under “Folder contains:” and then click OK.
Your new calendar should be displayed underneath My Calendars in Outlook. Now if you want to create another, just follow the same steps again.

By default, the Outlook calendar will show you the monthly view of the chosen calendar. If you would like to see a different view then go to the Arrange section on the Home tab and click on a different view. You can also click on the View tab to see a whole range of things that will help you organize your Outlook calendar to better suit your needs:
You can change the views, write different kinds of appointments in each view, and change the colors being used in each calendar.
You can also add a To-Do Bar to the right hand side, which will allow you to write down very specific things that you need to get done that day.
There is also a Daily Task View, which allows you to see your daily calendar with all of the tasks that are due on that day on the bottom part of the window.
