OmniOutliner-Users Digest, Vol 10, Issue 1

[L&L Pfeffer]

This project isn't my idea, but I have a good example that just 
happened to me this morning.

I'm a full-time Mom, and use OOutline for things such as keeping track 
of my kid's schedules, planning school volunteer projects, planning 
birthday parties, to do lists, and lots of other information that fits 
in outline format.

Last spring, when the school calendar for this year came out, I copied 
all the half-days off and school holidays into iCal. Today is a half 
day that isn't on my calendar -- it turns out the calendar was revised 
this summer.

If anyone has tried to update 9 months of calendar events, you know it 
takes a fair amount of time to page through the months and open all 
those drawers! It would be much faster to import my "school calendar" 
into OOutline, change dates and times there, then export the calendar 
back to iCal.

Ted, for my example, the relevant fields are:
Event Title
All Day?
from & to dates & times
repeat (should be a pop up in OO)
alarm
notes
