hello amro tried that and all i got was calendar entry saved when i looked at what the entry was it was my phone number i tried again and this time all it said was unnamed. there may be something wrong with this handset which is nothing unusual for nokia so i have 2 choices here 1 type manually all the way through the remaining months of the year 2 put this down as a bad job and give up i am rather inclined to go for option 2 on that list but thank you for your assistance Yvonne ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 9:51 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: notes Hi Yvonne, So the issue is essentially that you can't copy and paste, right? If you don't have notes/quick word on your phone you can copy from a text message. I've just tried it on my e66 just in case and it worked as it should. Try the following: Open a new message. Type income support Put the cursor on the first letter i.e. the letter i. Bring up the options menu (soft key one) and select editing options submenu>copy. Press soft key one to start highlighting and then arrow right until the phrase (income support) is highlighted. Press soft key two to copy. Now you should be able to paste (income support) as many times as you like any where be it in a memo or any other edit field. I hope that works for you. Sorry if I sounded snappy in my earlier post. Though I still think, IMHO, using the recurring feature in meetings is quicker specially if you are going to have this memo repeated every fortnight for the next few months.

I agree, it is not a meeting what you need to enter in your calendar but Nokia in their wisdom didn't include a recur feature in memos. Unless there's something else I am missing here I would say, lets not get bogged down in semantics! *smile* Cheers, Amro ----- Original Message ----- From: yvonne oliver To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 3:52 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: notes hi amro to a degree however it is not a meeting it is an event otherwise known as a memo so if i can be told how to do this with memo's that would solve my query thank you Yvonne ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 2:49 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: notes Yes Yvonne. Say you want to have a calendar entry that says (income support) next Monday and to be repeated every fortnight thereafter. You do thus: -open calendar -go to the date when you want the reminder to start. That would be next Monday January 24 in this example. -bring up the options menu and select new entry>meeting. A new entry dialog will appear. -type subject (that would be income support in this example) then arrow down once. -choose what time of the day your income support meeting is then arrow down four times. -press select and choose from the list how long before your meeting you want the alarm to sound off. If you don't want to set an alarm for your income support meeting ignore this field and leave it set to (off) and arrow down once. -press select and choose from the list how often you want the income support meeting entry to be repeated. In this example you would arrow down three times through the list and select fortnightly. -set any other fields in the new entry dialog if you wish and once finish press key two (done). That's it, your income support calendar entry has been set on Monday and it will be repeated every fortnight. Have I answered your question?

When you are creating a new entry in calendar, one of the fields is entry recurring. In the new entry dialog arrow down few times until Talks say (not repeated). Hit the select button there and set how often you need that reminder to be repeated.
