Track Your To-Do and Task Items

Overview

Many people keep a list of things to do - on paper, in a spreadsheet, or by using a combination of paper and electronic methods. In Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 the user can combine the various lists into one list, enhanced with reminders and tracking. A task is an item that the user creates in Outlook to track until its completion. A to-do item is any Outlook item - such as a task, an e-mail message, or a contact - that has been flagged for follow-up. By default, all tasks are flagged for follow-up when they are created, even if they have no start date or due date.
