Like many others, my work days are – to some extent – made up of meetings with others. It’s not uncommon for these meetings not to have an assigned meeting room, and I find it annoying that Outlook asks me if I want to enter a meeting location:

To get around this issue, we can pre-fill the Location field with a default setting. Here’s how:
- Go to File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon
- In the right-hand window, scroll down to – and enable – “Developer”, then click OK

- Go to the “Developer” tab which is now available in the Ribbon
- Select “Design a Form”
- Select “Appointment” and click “Open” (or simply double-click “Appointment”
- Enter a default text in the Location field:

- Click “Publish”, then “Publish Form”
- Name the form, and click “Publish”
- Right-click your calendar, and select “Properties”
- Select your form under “When posting to this folder, use:”

- Click “OK”
That should do it, and has worked wonders for me.
