Converting calendar items to tasks

[Wowbagger]

I am using Outlook XP and would like to convert a series of recurring
calendar entries into tasks. Is this possible?

Thank you

If you're asking if you can convert the recurring appointments to
recurring tasks automatically, I don't think you can, at least not
without some kind of 3rd party addin or possibly some code (and I don't
know of any offhand -- you can always check www.slipstick.com).
However, if you just want to create regular tasks and then make them
recurring yourself, that's fairly easy to do:

Switch your Calendar view to a table such as By Category. Select the
recurring appointments/events (hold down CTRL while clicking to select
multiples), then right-click on one of them and drag the bunch to the
Tasks folder. When you release the mouse button you will get a menu
asking if you want to create the tasks with text from the original
appointments, or shortcuts to the original appointments, etc. Make your
selection and the tasks will be created. If you chose one of the "Copy"
options, you'll need to manually delete the original appointments if you
don't need them anymore. Finally, return to the Tasks folder and create
the recurrences.
