Can I set an Outlook calendar reminder to be visual rather than a.

[joanct]

I have the audio turned off on my computer. How can I receive a calendar
reminder of a visual nature?

Doesn't Outlook display a pop-up when your appointment reminder is set?

No - I do not get a pop-up. Do I need to set that?

 

[Matthew Choinski]

I'm actually not sure because it always automatically displays a pop-up for
me...what version of Outlook do you have? Thanks, Matt.
