Outlook entries won’t appear

I have recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2) and transferred Office 11 from my old computer. Now, on Outlook 14.4.9 (I think it's for Home & Business, not the student edition) I try to make entries into my Outlook Calendar, but they won't show up. When they occur the computer sounds alerts. They just don't show up visually on the screen, on the calendar. I called Microsoft, and the rep said I need to add an email account, but it would cost me for her to tell me how to do that. I checked on my old computer, and I see no indication of any email being added, ever. I use the Mac's Mail pop account--the stamp at the bottom of the screen--for email. What am I doing wrong? Do I add my Mac/Mail email address to Outlook?

Thanks,
