Tech Tip of the Week
Connect Google Calendar to your Outlook
 You
can now connect the Google calendar to Outlook.
If you are using Outlook 2007, the calendar will be listed under other calendars.
Changes made to the Google calendar will be updated automatically, approximately
hourly. At this time it’s a one-way sync, i.e. you cannot make changes
in Outlook and update the calendar at Google.
For Outlook 2007 users,
- Click the manage calendars link on the Google calendar
page, and then click on share this calendar link.
- Go to the calendar details tab.
- Right click on the private ical button and copy
the link.
- Paste that link into Tools ->
Account Settings -> Internet Calendar -> New.
In older versions of Outlook, download the ics file and use File/Import
Export to import the events to the default Calendar folder. Events are not
updated automatically; you’ll need to download the ics file and import
it again (which will result in duplicates of existing items).
- If you have Outlook 2007, you’ll have the
option of opening it as a new calendar or importing it, however, using this
method creates a static calendar in Outlook 2007.
- If you use Vista, you can add it your Vista Calendar
using steps similar to those used for Outlook 2007.
