Is there any way to embed emails or write with formatted text in tasks, similar to the way tasks are handled with Outlook? We have a number of task templates at work (Outlook 2003) that employ the use of colors and simple text formatting as part of a tracking system, and I downloaded Office for Mac specifically to be able to set up a similar system at home. If these features are not currently available, will they be available in upcoming versions?

You can create a task with the e-mail body in the notes pane. To do that,
select the e-mail, then click on the AppleScript icon (a black scroll) in
the menu bar and select the script "Create Task from Message".

Unfortunately, you cannot format text in tasks. Nobody outside of Microsoft
knows whether this feature will be included in the next version of Office
(in which Entourage is going to be replaced with Outlook for Mac, by the
way). Again, nobody outside of Microsoft knows how much feature parity there
will be between the Windows and the Mac versions.
