9.3.3 Making Notes on a Particular Day.
Notes are recorded as all-day events and KeyPlan precedes them with the words "all-day:". They
are not associated with any particular time during that day.
To make notes on any page of the planner, first select the date. The cursor is placed ahead of any
text that may already be on the page. If the page is blank, then just start typing. If there is already
text on the page, check that the cursor is in the right place before typing. As soon as you start
typing, KeyPlan will automatically schedule an all-day event for you. You can move the cursor to a
different point in the text by using the cursor movement commands. These are similar to KeyWord
commands.
When you have finished typing an entry, you do not need to press ENTER unless you require a new
line.
If you have selected today's date, the cursor is placed on a scheduled appointment, if one exists.
You can use the cursor movement commands to move the cursor, or you can go to the top of the
page by pressing SPACE with dots 1-2-3.
9.3.4 Scheduling an All-Day Event.
You can set up an all-day event with the properties of an appointment, such as recurrence, or being
marked as busy or out of office. Please note that the default setting for All-Day appointments is set
to "free" as it is in MS Outlook. This is because typically people use this function for events such as
traveling, birthdays or other anniversaries, and reminders rather than actual appointments where
they will be busy. Remember that All-Day means midnight to midnight, not just 8am to 5pm. This
means that the All-Day event or appointment alarm will go off at midnight! To prevent this from
happening, either set a warning time so that the alarm goes off the day before, or schedule a
reminder appointment instead.
If you have already set up the all-day event, put the cursor into the text. Select Review or Modify
this appointment by pressing BACKSPACE with R. This will give you all of the scheduling
options.
If you are setting the appointment up from scratch, when scheduling the appointment, specify an
appointment time of L for all-day. From there continue as normal. Full directions on scheduling an
appointment can be found in 9.4 Scheduling Appointments.
