How to link contacts to appointments in Outlook?
For example, you are processing a team work with several colleagues, and you have made an appointment for the work in Outlook. If associated colleagues can be added and linked into this appointment, it will be quite easy when team work changes and you need to contact your colleagues in future. Actually, Microsoft Outlook supports linking contacts to a certain appointment easily.
