intergrating tasks into calendar view? - OL03

[Jack Folliard]

OL03 - Is three a way to integrate my daily tasks into the calendar? I
really don't like the Outlook Today view - It would be fantastic if my week
view popped up showing my appoints and my tasks at the same time - even
greater if my not yet completed tasks always rolled over to the next day.

Thanks.

only via the task pad - if it's not showing, View, Taskpad to enable it.

Outlook 2007 handles this much better, although task wont roll to the next
day by automatically changing the due date, they'll just be marked as
overdue.

Yes, daily Tasks can be integrated (well nearly) You can set up the TaskPad
beside the Cal each day to show you today's meetings (Cal) and today's Tasks
(TaskPad) side by side. When you don't complete a Task, it rolls over onto
tomorrow's TaskPad.

Here's how:

Set TaskPad View to Active Tasks for Selected Days. Use both Start and Due
date when you make Tasks.

With that setting, Start Date determines when the Task appears in the
TaskPad, Due date when it turns red (day after Due date). You can also show
additional columns in the TaskPad - right click it's heading bar and use the
Field Chooser to drag more columns into it.

BTW - you'll like Outlook 2007!
