I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 Outlook. I am in the process of setting up a meeting and noticed there is no To field to invite attendees. When I first opened up meeting notice. When I first clicked on my calendar on the time I wanted the meeting there is not a To field only title until I click Invite Attendees. The I have a From, Title, Required and Optional but no To field. This means I have to list everyone in Required. How to I get the To field back?

Thank you

    Hello Sheila4427,

    I'm Ibhadighi and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

    In Microsoft Outlook, when you're setting up a meeting, the "To" field is indeed represented by the "Required" and "Optional" fields when you're inviting attendees. Here's a simple explanation:

    • Required Field: This is equivalent to the "To" field you're looking for. Any attendees you add here are considered essential for the meeting.
    • Optional Field: If you have attendees that are not essential to the meeting, you can add them here.

    There isn't a separate "To" field in the meeting request; Outlook uses "Required" and "Optional" to categorize attendees. So to invite people to your meeting, you would list them in the "Required" field if their attendance is necessary, or "Optional" if it is not.

    If you remember having a "To" field previously, it's possible you might be recalling the interface for sending a standard email or you might be used to a different version of Outlook or an add-in that changed the interface. However, for setting up meetings in Outlook 2019, this is the standard way to invite attendees.

    I hope this helps.

    Best Regards, Ibhadighi
