How can I just drop a contact into my calendar?

[Larry]

I want to be able to drop a contact onto my calendar as a reminder to call
that person on a particular day. I don't want to send an email requesting a
meeting. Is there any way to do this in Outlook? Years ago, this was a
simple feature in PackRat.

Sure, have you tried it already?
As an alternative you can also add a reminder to a contact itself by right
clicking it and select Follow Up.
