REMEMBER THAT AS AN RACQ MEMBER, YOU'RE ENTITLED TO A 10 PERCENT DISCOUNT. IF YOU'RE ABOUT to travel for work or personal reasons and are trying to plan ahead by scheduling appointments or events for your trip, Microsoft Outlook has a handy time zone feature that will help you set these up in your destination's time rather than your local time. Here's how to use it: Step 1: Open Outlook, then create a new appointment in your calendar for the required date. Step 2: Go to the Appointment tab, then, under Options click on Time Zones. Step 3: You'll notice next to the Start time and End time there is now an additional drop down menu. Scroll down until you find your destination. Do this for both the start and end times. (Note: If you're scheduling travel time in your calendar, then the time zone in your start destination may differ to your end destination). Step 4: Save and Close your appointment. TIP: Outlook uses your Windows clock to schedule appointment times. To avoid any confusion when you arrive at your destination, keep your computer's clock set to your home time rather than changing it to the local time. Then use an alternative, such as a watch, to keep track of local time.
