For new appointments, I cannot think of an easier way to insert duration than inserting it at the prompt. For example, to set a appointment for tomorrow from 20:00 to 22:00, you would do this: C-c . | org-time-stamp S-right | select tomorrow date "20:00-22:00" | insert the duration return | you're done! For existing appointments, just put the point on the timestamp and edit it as if you were creating it. Does that help? -- Bastien
