How do I create an additional calendar? In addition to the default Microsoft Outlook Calendar, you can create additional  Outlook calendars. For example, you can create a calendar for your personal appointments and then you can view the calendars side-by-side to avoid over scheduling your day. Open your Outlook Calendar  Right mouse click the Calendar in the navigation pane Select New Folder Outlook calls a calendar a folder, so don't get confused with the terminology.  When you are in the Calendar view and select new folder, you are creating a new calendar! Type in the Name of the calendar Be sure under the Folder Contains field the information reads Calendar Items. Mouse Click OK The Name of the new calendar will appear UNDER the Outlook Calendar in the Navigation Pane. Place a check mark in the box beside the new calendar to view the calendars side-by-side.
