Modify Recurrence Pattern Options?

[Mary]

Greetings.

I'm hoping to change the recurrence pattern for Outlook tasks/appointments.

My "Workdays" are Mondays through Fridays, excluding various holidays
observed during the workweek. I have monthly tasks due Workday 1 through
Workday 12. When setting a recurring entry for Workday 4, I can specify the
task to appear each Fourth Weekday, which is perfect.

However, I do not see an option to set a recurring tasks for each Fifth
Weekday, each Sixth Weekday, etc. For example, I have tasks due on Day 10. In
December 2008, Day 10 happens to fall on December 12, but in January 2009, my
Day 10 falls on January 16.

Can I modify the recurrence pattern and/or somehow import a special
calendar? Any other suggestions?

Thank you very much for your help.

You can't change the pattern or skip holidays. You can create the dates in
Excel and import as individual appointments. See

This is very useful but I need to be able to also add attendees to the
meetings and excel imports are treated as appointments so no attendess.

Is there a way to get a workday occurrence that can have attendees invited
as well.

No within Outlook. Ws.Repeat Appointment might do meeting requests.
