Outlook (both 2010 and 2007) has a "feature" that creates an appointment if I type some text while the calendar window has focus. This keeps biting me every now and then when I erroneously have focus on the calendar window and start typing. To me, this feature is twice as annoying:
- There is no easy way to escape out of it - I end up using mouse to select the newly created bogus event and then to delete it.
- Sometimes, if the focus is on an already existing event, such spurious typing changes the text without an easy way to undo.
Question: is there a way to make Outlook stop creating/modifying events upon typing, forcing me instead to double click an event or Ctrl-N in order to process my input?
