One Note2k3 ToDo button does not create Outlook2k3 task

[dd]

My boss states that an Outlook task should be created when he clicks the ToDo
in One Note. He can manually Create Outlook Task from the toolbar option.
Both Outlook (Office) and One Note are SP3.

I can't say for ON 2003 from my own practice (only used it for a couple)
of weeks.
But according to Kath Jacobs' book [1] on ON 2003 (p. 126 f.) one can
create tasks (a result is shown). It does not tell how to do that,
however. I'd assume that it would work rather the same way as creating
appointments
and creating contacts.

Anyway The functions for the co-operation of ON and Outlook were rather
limited in ON 2003. They are by far improved in ON 2007 (as ON 2007 is
is ways above the old version [which more or less was a first shot]).
If your boss really wants to do *work* with ON my one and only
recommendation is to upgrade to ON 2007 ASAP [2]. IMHO he who still uses
ON 2003 now that ON 2007 exists and is available at rather small money,
punishes himself by the day and the hour.

Both Outlook (Office) and One Note are SP3.

Is he clicking the To-Do TAG for the item (little square check box) or
is he using the flag-like icon that actually creates an Outlook task
associated with that line in the OneNote page? I suspect it's pretty
easy to get the two confused.

Well, what's STOPPIN' ya, dude?! Get with the 21st century already!


If you want, you can get a free 60-day eval copy from the Office web
site (http://office.microsoft.com), then if you like it you can just
purchase a license key online and activate the program permanently. If
you don't like the program, just uninstall it -- no harm, no foul --
but I suspect you'll be hooked just like the rest of us OneNote
Junkies are!
