In the reminders, just type what you want, such as 15 min, or 2 hour, 3 day.
It's a very intelligent interface. Then press Enter.
The QAT is described in detail in one of the FS help tutorials. But you need to
find the customize button in the same areas as the QAT and use the wizard to
look for specific Outlook commands and assign them to the keys. They will
always assign in order starting with 1, for Alt + 1. Later you can arrange them
if you want.
Note that if you have the virtual ribbon active I don't think you can use the
customize button, so switch back to the usual Microsoft ribbon, press Alt, then
shift+tab a couple times until you hear customize.
A bit fiddly but with time and patience you'll soon be an expert and have
several quick access keys assigned. Then you only need to tap Alt followed by a
number key to launch one of them. I have 6 of them set up in my Calendars area.
Really slick as pig snot, as one lister suggested.
Oh and did I tell you that if you do use the virtual ribbon the QAT keystrokes
will not work in Outlook 2007. Pressing the Alt key just opens the menu and
following with a number does nothing but frustrate you. Pressing Alt+1 together
just moves you through the various headings in the appointment dialog. One of
the things they broke with the advent of the first revision of JAWS 12. I
immediately complained, and of course it's never been fixed. So if you find you
like the QAT you'll have to turn off the virtual ribbon in Outlook. Sorry for
that bad news. Don't blame me, blame FS.

I have JFW 12. The problem is, I can't tell what setting, I'm selecting.
Jaws 12 is saying one day for a reminder, but in reality, it's set on 18 hours,
or two days, and in one case, it was set on none. Is there specific settings,
I need to set for the Calendar. Tell me more about Quick Access Keys please!
Thanks!

Assign Quick Access Keys to reminder, private, recurring, etc. to make them
easier to use. Or get JAWS 12 for the virtual ribbon feature.

Hi folks! I seem to be having problems accessing all of the options on the
calendar in Outlook 2007. I can see how to open an appointment, set a date
etc, but as far as setting reminder times, I can't see the menu, unless I
access the ribbon menu, which I hate. JFW reads the options, but I can't tell
which setting I'm on. For example, I'll set it for one day, and go back and it
reports 2 or 3 days, and even in some cases, it says none. Any help would be
appreciated.
