Setting up a custom repeat interval
One of Calendar's truly great timesavers is the event repeat feature. It enables you to set up a single event and
then get Calendar to automatically repeat it at a regular interval. By default, you can repeat an event every day,
week, month, or year. You can also continue the events indefinitely or end them after a specific number of times
or on a specific date.
You can make this great feature even better by coming up with a custom repeat interval. For example, if you
have an event that always occurs on the last Friday of every month, there's no way to schedule that using the

event, and then click Edit.
2. Click the repeat list, and then click Custom.
3. Use the Frequency list to select the base interval.
You have four choices:
•
Daily.
Use the Every

day(s) text box to set the number of days you want to use for the interval.
•
Weekly.
Use the Every

week(s) text box to set the number of weeks you want to use for the interval,
and click the day of the week on which you want the events to fall.
•
Monthly.
Use the Every

month(s) text box to set the number of months you want to use for the inter-
