Default miss the bell: reminder symbol display on calendar

Anyway to get the little bell symbol or whatever to indicate that the
appointment has a reminder set? I would like to be able to see what
appointments have reminders and what don't at a glance instead of having to
open up the appointment.

Thanks, Diane. That's too bad. Since you listed out the views it does NOT
display in, are there some views it does show in?

I thought 2007 was supposed to be "improved." It seems that features that
were available in 2003 are now no longer available. As I keep track of both
my boss's calendar and my own, it was a quick verification by having the
reminder symbol visible without opening each appointment. Any chance that
2007 could be updated to include the reminder symbol?

no it can't be updated and its unlikely they will add it in an update. They
removed it to clean up and streamline the view. Reminders can be enabled by
default and should be applied to all appointments when its enabled, making
the icon unnecessary in the month view. you can use a table view If you need
to look for items without reminders.

I really don't understand why they removed this feature! It should be at
least an option to keep it as it was for users that need it in their
workflow. All we need is a simple checkbox in the Options menu.

Just wondering -- did you have a focus group of people who actually spend
much of their time working on calendars before you decided to remove the
visible reminder? It's one of the first things I looked for when I began
working in 2007 last week. It was a really important and useful feature --
and I can't figure out why you simply took it away.
