If you’re like most people, you probably use Outlook 2007 to manage your calendar. But what if you want to share your calendar with other people who use Microsoft Office Online Service? You can do that easily by sharing your Outlook 2007 calendar with Office Online. To share your Outlook 2007 calendar with Office Online, first make sure that you have an active subscription to the service. Then, open the Calendar app in Outlook 2007 and click the Share button on the toolbar. In the dialog box that appears, type in a name for the shared calendar and select whether you want to allow others to view your appointments, add events to your calendar, or both. (You can also choose to allow only certain people access to specific parts of your calendar.) Click OK to finish setting up the sharing process. Once you’ve set up sharing, anyone who has an active subscription to Office Online can view and edit your appointments and events in their calendars. They’ll also be able to add new events right from within the Calendar app in Outlook 2007. And if someone else is using Office Online but doesn’t have a copy of Outlook 2007 installed on their computer, they can still access your shared calendar by signing into Office Online using their Microsoft account credentials. ..
