1. Is there any way to copy an existing Calendar entry and use that to create a new one? The specific case I'm looking at has a 4-day event that is presented twice a day. I've created the events for the earlier time and would like to duplicate that and change the start / end times for the second set of presentations.
Su -- I wish.

What I do is open the "template event" in one browser tab and cut-and-paste the contents of each field manually into the "new event" dialog in another browser tab, changing things as necessary. It is burdensome, and hopefully someone smarter than me has come up with a better way.

2. If I set a reminder for the event, will it be sent before each day? (I ended up having to create an event that repeats for the 4 days. With a reminder say 5 days before the event, will it send one 5 days before the first day, then 5 days before the second day, and so forth?)
I believe so, but have not actually tested this for a recurring event.

3. Is there any provision to attach a flyer or other image to a calendar event?
Not really. You can embed an <img> tag for a photo hosted on another site and have it show up in the Event Description, but if the photo is subsequently moved or deleted a broken link will show instead. The process is kinda weird and unreliable, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/31532132#16547?for details. I don't know if it would work for a PDF or any other data type. If you try it, please report back on what you find out.
