How to simultaneously create the same appointment at the same time but on a list of arbitrary days?

[Alan]

Hello,

In Outlook (XP, 2003 or 2007), how can a user simultaneously create
the same appointment at the same time on a number of different days?
It's like a recurring appointment but with no real pattern except for
the time of day.

We're migrating to Outlook from a system where we could type a series
of dates in the Start Time box, e.g., 01/06/07, 25/6/07, 27/06/07,
etc, then just press Save to create the same appointment at the same
time on all those different dates.

The user does't want to have to Copy/Paste each individual
appointment...

If it's not possible by default, anyone know of a suitable add-in?

Thanks,

- Alan.

WS Repeat Appointment is an add-in that will do this. I know of no other way in Outlook except copy/paste or right click and drag/drop.
