TASKS: How can I paste a list into multiple task items?

[Hotkey]

When I try to hi-lite a list of tasks from notepad and paste them into
Outlook 2003 Tasks, a dialogue box opens wanting me to enter the Task title.

I'm hoping to be able to take a list and paste it into Tasks and have a list
of Tasks without having to type individually.

Thanks.

That's not possible. You can drag blocks of text to the tasks button to
create 1 at a time or import the list - it needs to be one task per row,
comma or tab delimited. (It's easier to edit in Excel, if it needs edited
before importing.)
