If you scheduled an appointment and perhaps want to schedule a similar appointment, for a different day and time there is a short-cut - use the copy and paste feature.

For example, let's say for just this week you have schedule some time to review a list of prospective clients that you received from a trade show.  After first glance, you think it will take more time than you initially thought so you need to schedule additional time to review the list.  Instead of scheduling a new appointment, just use the Cut and Paste feature.

In ACT!
1. Click once on the appointment to select it

2. Edit > Copy

3. Click on the day you want to schedule the additional time

4. Edit > Paste

This works on all versions of ACT! from 2000 and newer.

That's it!
