Schedule task to show up as calendar appointment
-
I use my calendar to schedule my time as well as my client's time for the week. I find if I create a task from an email, it doesn't show up on my calendar. Is there a step I am missing or do I just need to copy and paste the task into the calendar?

Is this in Outlook?
A task is a separate item from a calendar appointment, however you can add a reminder to a task (but that still won't show as scheduled time on the calendar). -
@lillucia Yes it's Outlook. I make reminders all the time, but then I make appointment or schedule other stuff forgetting about the task!

Do you have your to-do pane enabled? If so, you can show both your appointments and tasks.

@alexntg that is a good idea, but I never seem to notice it. Also my O365 calendar is on my android calendar, and that's what I see more often during the day.

Oh yes, my Google Fu is powerful today.I found the answer and tried it, just what the doctor ordered, aside from some weird formatting, but who cares really?
You can open/read your email and then in the toolbar at the top under Move, choose Calendar. A calendar schedule appointment opens up with your email subject in the subject line and in the text area the body of your email. You just set your start/end time and BAM, its on the calendar. I might actually get stuff done now.
