I have a Laptop running Windows 7 & Outlook 2013, and a Microsoft Surface tablet running Windows RT and Outlook 2013.  I have got the Surface calendar and contacts synchronising automatically  with SkyDrive - but how do I achieve the same thing with my Laptop - either manually or automatically - without using third party software?

Prior to 'syncing' with Outlook.com, I used Outlook 2010/2013 exclusively for my calendar.  At that time I would create an appointment, scan in the invitation, and 'snip it' as a picture in the body of my appointment.  This way I only had to glance at the details and not open up an attachment.

 

However, now that my Outlook 2013 calendar is 'syncing' with my Outlook.com calendar, I can no longer 'insert' ANYTHING into the body of the appointment.  Am I missing something or is this just not an option when using the Outlook.com calendar?
