How to change the calendar in the To-Do Bar in Outlook?
Generally speaking, we can easily show appointments into To-Do Bar with checking the To-Do Bar > Calendar on View tab in Outlook 2013 (or To-Do Bar > Normal and Appointments on View tab in Outlook 2010). Nevertheless, even we have checked the Calendar or Appointments in the drop down list of To-do Bar, the upcoming appointments we added just now are still missing. That’s because the To-do Bar can only show the appointments in default calendar of default Outlook data file. In this case, to show appointments of other calendar in the To-Do Bar, you have to change the default calendar in the To-Do Bar in Outlook.
